I know a story And if you lend me an ear and a halfway open mind You may discover something about yourself "I see you're distracted" Said the carnival master and pointed down to the broom I should have been pushing and he gently took me aside and said Every task before you is a challenge to succeed Oh whoa oh, moment to moment Like every breath is a step to forever Oh whoa oh, moment to moment, boy You won't give up, give up You won't give it up I remember it passing But the fool that I was couldn't see for the next ten years Until I discovered like waking up from a dream Instead of a master Or the flying trapeze I was down here pushing a broom Watchin' the actors and I heard again his words, sayin' Every choice before you was a challenge to succeed Oh whoa oh, moment to moment Like every breath is a step to forever Oh whoa oh, moment to moment, boy You don't give up, give up You don't give it up You don't give up, give up You don't give it up Da da da da da da da Is it too late, is it too late to remedy? Da da da da da da da da Will you teach me, will you teach me? Every choice before you was a challenge to succeed Oh whoa oh, oh whoa oh oh Oh whoa oh, moment to moment And every breath is a step to forever Oh whoa oh, moment to moment, boy You don't give up, give up You don't give it up You won't give up, give up You don't give it up Oh whoa oh, moment to moment And every breath is a step to forever Oh whoa oh, moment to moment, boy You don't give up, give up You don't give it up You won't give up, give up You don't give it up You don't give up, give up You don't give it up You don't give up, give up You don't give it up
