Lyrics

It’s Not Your Turn

(Music - M. Novak, Lyrics – M. Novak, C. Webster)

Life is not fair it has no favorites
Balance in life is the best we can wish for
Hope and prayer are the illusions we use
But wins and losses is how we keep score

Life was once simple, innocent and free
Everything you needed was easily had
Despair was brief shown by a tear
It changed by the moment from happy to sad

CHORUS:

It’s just not your turn for the good or the bad
It’s just not your turn to get what you need
It’s just not your turn to be happy or sad
It’s just not your turn to win or concede


It’s not your turn to find the perfect romance
The heart’s pain and pleasure can’t be controlled
Love is indifferent it happens by chance
It’s just not your turn and the hearts not consoled

As you start your career the ladder must be climbed
Filled with expectations you’re always the one for the job
The doors open and close but they’re always ill timed
The top of the ladder missed again you feel robbed

CHORUS:

As the clock keeps moving and your body’s caught by surprise
Your plans for the future are now the now
Your dreams for today and tomorrow have died
It’s finally your turn but you forgot how
