It Hasn’t Happened Yet

I was crossing the snow fields
In front of the capital building

It was Christmas and I was alone

Strange city
Stangers for friends
And i was broke

As the Carillons sang its song
I dreamt of success
I would be the best
I would make my folks proud
I would be happy

It hasn’t happened yet
It hasn’t happened yet
It hasn’t happened

Yes there are nods in my directions
Clap of hands
A knowing smile
But still

I was scared again
I’m scared again

Foot slipped
Devils fall and so did I
Almost

I’m high
On Yosemite
The big grey wall
Fear of falling
Where to put my foot next
Fear of failure
I’m afraid i’m going to fall
Be one with the mountain
I whispered in the air

Fear of failure
Fear of losing my hair
Falling

When is the mountain scared
When do I feel I haven’t failed
I have got to get it together man

It hasn’t happened yet
It hasn’t happened yet
It hasn’t happened

People come up and say hello
Ok i can get to the front of the line
But you have to ignore the looks
And yet

I’m waiting for that feeling of contentment
That ease at night when you put your head down and the rhythm slow to sleep
My heads sways and eyes start awake
I’m there not halfway between sleep and death
But looking into

Eyes wide open
Trying to remember
What I might have done
Should’ve done

At my age i need serenity
I need peace

It hasn’t happened yet
It hasn’t happened yet
It hasn’t happened yet

It hasn’t happened
It hasn’t happened
