Lyrics

Make It Happen

Sometimes we find ourselves

Looking for something new

We stand outside ourselves

Not knowing quite what we should do

I am in debt to you

I owe respect to you

But you've got to learn it's gonna turn

Into neglect for you

And though

You caught me naked

I didn't enjoy it

In fact I regret it

Let's make it happen

Why can't you understand

I am a fraction

A part of a broken man?

I hope you understand

It's part of my action plan

To bury you in the sand

The tide's gonna turn

When will you learn

To stop hiding inside yourself?

I bet you wish you were someone else

Tell me, when will you learn?

The day's getting longer

And you're getting common sense

So get right down off that fence

Ain't it time that you turned?

And though

You got me thinking

You could be faking

Your ego's inflated and I'm sick of waiting

Let's make it happen

Why can't you understand

I am a fraction

I am a broken man

Let's make it happen

Why can't you understand

I am a fraction

Part of a broken man?

My soul is in rapture

If only we could both hold on

Let's cause a reaction

Just like you know we should
