Timing is everything
It took half my life;
Maybe less, maybe more
To realize that potential
Is almost always circumstantial --
You either see it, or you don't
Second guessing is hard work
Neither talent nor ability
Can sustain a stubborn heart
A foot can't find stability
If it can't choose where to start --
The line is fine between humility and pride
You either find it, or you don't
Talent is a double sided sword
The weight of capability
Brings a great responsibility
With a price;
You either pay it, or you don't
Maybe less, maybe more
To realize that potential
Is almost always circumstantial --
You either see it, or you don't
Second guessing is hard work

Can sustain a stubborn heart

If it can't choose where to start --
The line is fine between humility and pride
You either find it, or you don't
Talent is a double sided sword
The weight of capability
Brings a great responsibility
With a price;
You either pay it, or you don't
