The Gamble:

 

I really think I’m worth more than this

 I’ve always been ambitious, always working on a list

 I think that I deserve more than this life

I have always had a goal, I have always checked the time

But I’m running out of time

 

What if I never reach my fitting place?

And if I never ever see the day

Right now I’m stuck at a job that I hate

They don’t pay me enough to get treated this way

What if I live day in day out like this?

I know soon I’m going to have to take the risk

Of gaining it all or having nothing

 

I’ve always seen myself as a special case

I thought I broke the mold

Thought no one could be the same

But now I see that I’m no different from

 all the other dreamers that couldn’t find a reason

to push their way through

 

I’m the only one that matters

When it comes to my sink or swim

No one’s going to dive in

If I start drowning

No one else is gonna to pave the

Way for me, I gotta find my own way

I gotta paint my own face
