Opportunity Songtext
von Timmy Thomas

This world is big enough for both of us
But I can′t let you have my share
I've been deprived of payin′ my dues
Now I've got the chance to go somewhere
All it took was one step to the front
I closed the door and I didn't look back
Now I′ve got to wheel and deal for perfection
Before I fall right in that same old trap

If they′ll give me, give me opportunity
Mmm, that's enough for me

All I want is opportunity
Let me tell you somethin′ right here

This world is big enough for both of us
But I can't let you have my share

I′ve been deprived
Now I've got to go
Gotta go, gotta go somewhere


We fight never, never ending battle
About who′s gonna sit in the front seat of life
Don't you know divided, divided we fall
Why can't we come together and win this fight?
Some people gotta stop thinkin′ they′re second
In a world where second's don′t place
First you got to get, get your mind together
Then you are ready to set your pace

If they'll give me, give me opportunity
That′s enough, that's enough for me

All I want is opportunity

Opportunity
Opportunity, opportunity
Opportunity
Opportunity, opportunity, opportunity, opportunity
Opportunity, opportunity, opportunity, opportunity

All I want, I don′t want any handout
Give me, give me, give me, give me
Give me the opportunity

Opportunity, oh opportunity, mmm
