One step in the right direction
Takes you to your pot of gold
Fate is always smiling on the brave, they say
A step the other way, my friend
And the bog of eternal stench awaits
Messing up your plans for a rosy future

If only I had dared, if only I had gone
If only I had said, if only I had done
If only I had seen, if only I had got
If only I had cared, if only I had not

One step in the right direction
Helps fulfill your childhood dream
To live the life that you alone desire
A step not taken then, my friend
Will leave you in the twilight years
Imagining the things that could have been

If only I had dared, if only I had gone
If only I had said, if only I had done
If only I had seen, if only I had got
If only I had cared, if only I had not

No use standing still at all
The sixteen ton's about to fall
You have to make your mind up; which direction?
No use standing still at all
No time to let the engine stall
A sitting duck is easy prey, keep moving!

If only I had dared, if only I had gone
If only I had said, if only I had done
If only I had seen, if only I had got
If only I had cared, if only I had not
