lyrics

For So long now we've been climbing
We've scratched, scrimped and saved for years
Now, luck and circumstance and timing
and suddenly a chance appears

It was starting to seem like we might never see where we were going
I began to beleive that we might go the rest of our lives, never knowing

But This could be it.
This could be the one
This could be our moment in the sun

I'm starting to think
that this could be good,
I don't wanna jinx it,
so I'm knockin' on wood

We do what we have to to make it through
You take and you lose, you get and you give
Count yourself among the lucky few
if you end up net-positive

Recognize the chance when it is handed to you and take it for a spin,
I heard once before, when god closes a door, life smashes your windows in.

But This could be it.
This could be the one
This could be our moment in the sun

I'm starting to think
that this could be good,
I don't wanna jinx it,
so I'm knockin' on wood

If we take it
could we make it
Could we see a brighter day

I know what I'd choose,
'Cuz What's there to lose?
We'd be here anyway

I'm starting to think
that this could be good,
I'm crossing my fingers,
I'm knockin' on wood

This could be it
But then again maybe not,
We'll never know 'til we take a shot

But This could be it.
This could be the one
This could be our moment in the sun

I'm starting to think
that this could be good,
I don't wanna jinx it,
so I'm knockin' on wood
