Twist of Fate

A girl I knew grew up in an institution; she was an orphan and all alone
She worked hard and made a contribution, went to Yale and now she has a home
And now the girl seemed to have it all, picture perfect hanging on the wall
She took a turn down the wrong way; no one knows where she is today
Things are never easy or what they seem
Are you stuck in a nightmare or living the dream?

If you’re running on empty the battery is low, you lost your sense of direction and you don’t know where the hell you’re supposed to go
If you want to play it safe then just close your eyes
Life has funny way of sneaking up on you and taking you by surprise
Do you really want to wait until it is too late for your twist of a fate?

You feel you’ve been raised in the darkness; they tell you how to be and how to live your life
Reality can be painful ‘cuz no one has a list of what’s wrong or right
They can neither love nor harm you by placing it all right in your hand
You can lose it in a second, they will never understand
Things are never easy or what they seem
Are you stuck in a nightmare, or living the dream?

If you’re running on empty the battery is low, you lost your sense of direction and you don’t know where the hell you’re supposed to go
If you want to play it safe then just close your eyes
Life has funny way of sneaking up on you and taking you by surprise
Do you really want to wait until it is too late for your twist of a fate?

You can build it up or break it down, turn the picture upside down
Listen to your inner voice, it’s your choice…..
Now is now, make or break, take in life what you can take, but most of all be the master of your fate

If you want to play it safe then just close your eyes
Life has funny way of sneaking up on you and taking you by surprise

If you’re running on empty, the battery is low, you lost your sense of direction, and you don’t know where the hell you’re supposed to go
If you want to play it safe then just close your eyes
Life has funny way of sneaking up on you and taking you by surprise
Do you really want to wait until it is too late for your twist of a fate?
