Overnight

I just don't get it
I don't understand 
How after all these years 
I still don't have a plan
A plan on what I want to do
On how I will succeed
I have  allowed  myself 
Into a comfort zone 
At times I was stuck
Getting things together 
 Somehow in a rut
I realized what I had done
Made myself lesser Than number one 
Now I know what its time to do
Get it right
Change doesn't happen overnight 

Chorus 
It doesn't happen overnight 
But somehow 
Got to get it right
No need of staying in the comfort zone
Be great you are not alone 

Verse 2
We got another chance (chance) 
To come up with another plan
You can do it 
Yes 
You can have success 
But you have to want it 
You have to crave 
And know soon there will be better days
It pays to hush sometimes and learn
The best things in life are not given to you
They're earned
I promise to listen
Stay woke 
And know with my future its still hope!!! 

Chorus 
It doesn't happen overnight 
But somehow 
Got to get it right
No need of staying in the comfort zone
Be great you are not alone 


Hook
Not overnight no
Change comes with growth 
Not overnight no
Change comes with growth 

Chorus 
It doesn't happen overnight 
But somehow 
Got to get it right
No need of staying in the comfort zone
Be great you are not alone 

Repeat until chorus fades
