Story Behind The Song

I have written the song looking back at my own expreiences and those of friends. Where opportunities and time was wasted. You want to be great but either don't put in the effort required or fail to believe in yourself when you really can do anyting that anyone else has done. You really are so close "one shot away"

Song Description

The song describes the feelings encountered when one reaches the age where society views them as an adult and the responsibiliy that comes with that age. MOst imprortantly the inspirational chorus that with the responsibility comes the ability to do and be anything / anyone you want to. It's a great time in ones life but sucess will not come without effort. But in the end you have the tools it's all up to you.

Lyrics

One Shot Away

© D.Rink & C.Woodhouse 2005


Welcome to your life
You can do all you want the boss said it?s you right
Trees are green happy birthday eighteen now you know wrong from right
I hope and prey every one of you we made was held up to the light

Your one shot away
Your one dream away
One dance one chance your right of way your time today
One shot away

We all want to see through rose coloured glasses eating fairy floss and cream
But like the wild you?ve got to be strong to survive
It won?t be easy nothing can?t be done let your spirit move your mind look toward the sun
It?s up to you the futures in your hands

Your one shot away
Your one dream away
One dance one chance your right of way your time today
One shot away
So get up and play
One minute more
You?re shoved out the door
To see the whole world in front of you on the floor
Your right of way
One shot away
