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
