Make it count

(c) Music and lyrics by Dov Hammer

 

I’ve been to the mountaintop, seen the promised land

Time and again the gods laughed at my plans

You might knock me down, but don’t ever think I’m out

Whatever I do , I got to make it count

 

Snake-oil salesmen ,fool me once ,shame on me

Grinning in my face, thinking I can’t see

Well Karma is a nasty witch, she don’t fool around

If you want to take a shot at me , better make it count

 

Win , lose or draw, none of this will last

The scores get lost and forgotten in the misty past

 

Write another chapter for the book, that’s what it’s about

You got to get the story right, and make it count

 

When God created time, he sure made a lot

I’m gonna use all mine, taking my best shot

Up or down , wheels turning round and round

Everything I do, gonna make it count
