Lyrics
Stand up in a clear blue morning
Until you see what can be
Alone in a cold day dawning
Are you still free? Can you be?
When some cold tomorrow finds you
When some sad old dream reminds you
How the endless road unwinds you
While you see a chance, take it
Find romance, fake it
Because it’s all on you
Don’t you know by now
No one gives you anything?
And don’t you wonder how you keep on moving?
One more day
Your way
Whoa, your way
When there’s no one left to leave you
Even you don’t quite believe you
That’s when nothing can deceive you
While you see a chance, take it
Find romance, fake it
Because it’s all on you
Stand up in a clear blue morning
Until you see what can be
Alone in a cold day dawning
Are you still free? Can you be?
And that old grey wind is blowing
And there’s nothing left worth knowing
And it’s time you should be going
While you see a chance, take it
Find romance, fake it
Because it’s all on you
While you see a chance, take it
Find romance
While you see a chance, take it
Find romance (fake it)
While you see a chance, take it
Find romance
While you see a chance, take it
Find romance
While you see a chance, take it
Find romance (oh, fake it, baby)
While you see a chance, take it
Find romance (oh)
