Some of Us Will - Sheena Easton

Some of us will always be content to be on the side of the losers

Some of us are resigned to the fact that beggars can’t be choosers

At the risk of being a pain you ask your question

But the fear of losing again builds the tension

So you bide your time, collect your thoughts, await another opportunity

And you abandon with the strain, you pour yourself another glass of immunity

You take your breath and take your chances

But can you take the knocks and sideways glances

Some of us will make waves

Some of us will be brave

Some of us will be safe

So the time seems right, you say your speech and give them all your reasons

You express yourself correctly, politely, but you couldn’t really hope to

please them

You said your piece and stood your ground

And you’re quite surprised that you’re still around

Some of us will make waves

Some of us will be brave

Some of us will be safe

Some of us will make waves

Some of us will be brave

Some of us will be safe
