One of these days you're gonna fall from that cloud that's under your feet,
And you're gonna be all by yourself on a dark, lonely street.
You're gonna wonder what you did to deserve such a fate,
And you'll come to a fork that'll cause you to hesitate.
You'll have one last chance to take back the things you did, the things you said,
Before it's too late, before it's over, before you're dead.
The question is: Will you take that one last chance?
Will you sing that one last song, dance that one last dance?
'Cause you've got just one last chance to make things right,
And you'd better do it quick, before the day turns to night.

The time to stop and reflect
As the white flakes cover our souls
