The Opportunity

from Dorothea [EP] by David Lawrie

about

Featured as the opening theme for David Diley's docu-film OF SHARK AND MAN.

lyrics

You followed me back in time,
When the light shone brighter.
A linear path, unfurling.
In time.

Veering to the right
I lost my way,
With pacifiers stacking high.

I was waiting for an offer,
An offer.
Waiting for the opportunity
To arise.


You've heard enough of
Me telling you of
The lies
The lies
I had, I had endured
Because I had to be sure
Endurance wasn't an issue at all.

"But that was then,
And now is now,
And we are still young"
You told me.

"Turn it around,
Or build from the ground.
Just do it, do it,
Do it for yourself;
Or me;
Whomever, just be
Who you can be,
As hard as it seems.
I'll help you off the ground
So maybe you can fly."

So thank you for the offer,
The offer.
Thank you for the opportunity.

Thank you for the offer,
The offer.
Thank you for reminding me that we are still young.
