You should have seen it coming
But it happened way too fast
Now you're right back where you started
And your future is your past

You tried to move a mountain
It's like whistling in the breeze
You racked your brain for answers
And then wound up on your knees

Chorus:
It begins at the moment you're born
Just like chasing a king with a pawn
It's like taking the bull by the horns
But I'll try again today
Yes I'll try again today

Like a game of Snakes (Chutes) & Ladders
Or castles in the sand
Just when you think you've got it
It slips right through your hands
You can try and move a mountain
But it's best to walk around
If you flow with the river
It will never drag you down

Repeat Chorus:
It begins at the moment you're born
Just like chasing a King with a pawn
It's like taking the bull by the horns
But I'll try again today
Yes I'll try again today
