Return as I again,
With daring striking in my chest,
Another circuit open chain,
Then stop to rest,
Procrastinate, a cover for refrain.
Watching time pass again,
I wonder would it be somehow,
My season comes to preordain,
The time is now,
Shoot flaming straight, destroy excuses lame.
But fate relieves again,
The urgency that I would feel,
For courage in my heart to fain,
To make it real,
What kind of chance, could I then ascertain?
