It Hasn't Happened Yet Lyrics
I was crossing the snow fields
In front of the Capital Building
It was Christmas and I was alone
Strange city, strangers for friends
And I was brokeAs the carillon sang its song
I dreamt of success
I would be the best
I would make my folks proud
I would be happyIt hasn't happened yet
It hasn't happened yet
It hasn't happenedYes, there are nods in my direction
Clap of hands, the knowing smile
But still, I'm scared againFoot slipped, pebbles fall and so did I
Almost, oh my
On Yosemite, the big grey wall
(Fear of falling)
Where to put my foot next
(Fear of failure)
I'm afraid, I'm going to fall
(Be at one with the mountain)I whispered in the air
(Fear of falling, fear of falling
(Fear of failure, failure)
Fear of losing my hair
(Falling, falling, falling)When is the mountain scaled?
When do I feel I haven't failed?
I've got to get it together, man
It hasn't happened yetIt hasn't happened yet
It hasn't happened yet
It hasn't happened
It hasn't happenedPeople come up and say, "Hello"
Okay, I can get to the front of the line
But you have to ignore the looks and yet
I'm waiting for that feeling of contentment
That ease at night when you put your head down
And the rhythms slow to sleepMy head sways and eyes start awake
I'm there not halfway between sleep and death
But looking into eyes wide open trying to remember
What I might have done, should have done
At my age I need serenity I need peaceIt hasn't happened yet
It hasn't happened yet
It hasn't happened yet
It hasn't happened
It hasn't happened
