Rise To The Occasion - Lene Marlin

You’ve been down the dark detours

You have seen most of it all

Crashed into a million faces

But never listened to them talk

You got so much on your mind right now

It doesn’t even help to try

To solve them all

You used to smile when hope and a pat on the back

Would last throughout the day

As the rain kept fallin' down on you

You wouldn’t let them wash the feeling away

Hope itself dried out in you

As you heard your man walking away

Without a word

And you thought:

Who’s gonna make my decisions

I can’t make’em on my own

Who’s gonna rise the occasion

When there’s no one around

Who the hell is gonna believe me

I don’t believe in myself

Who’s gonna be there forever

Well it ain’t gonna be him

In case you didn’t know I really care for you

I just wish you all the best

If love should come and knock on your door

I hope it treats you with respect

I cannot count the times I’ve seen you oh just slip it away

Cause of broken hearts…

And you thought:

Who’s gonna make my decisons

I can’t make’em on my own

Who’s gonna rise the occasion

When no one’s around

Who the hell is gonna believe me

I don’t believe in myself

Who’s gonna be there forever

Well, it ain’t gonna be him

Everybody is going away

I’m barely hanging on

Do not lovers seek me

What am I doing wrong

Who’s gonna make my decisions…
