Betcha Lyrics - Singles - Jon Anderson

It was the perfect opportunity 

Looking at your quick mistakes 

So yo you finally went and did it 

You screamed and ran away 

It was the perfect chance 

The mystery school 

It's all for beginners 

How we knew it then 

But that didn't mean a thing 

So we stacked our promises 

To the mothers of invention 

Then yo you chased the spiral dream 

With the brothers of time 

So you gave your heart of hearts 

To the sisters of the union 

You were left so high and dry 

Just give it up 

Just give a little time 

Betcha never thought 

You'd make 

Betcha never thought 

You'd see the light of day 

Betcha never thought 

You'd make it 

You were dancing faster all the time 

Living life so down and out 

But it was so magnificent 

You couldn't leave it all alone 

So you chased your dreams 

When they sing to you, "Bon jour" 

It's the perfect dream 

But that didn't mean a thing 

Something tells me you know who you are 

You just make believe it all 

Something tells me you were 

Just waiting for that perfect time 

See this reality 

It's the mother of invention 

You can spin the spiral dream 

Sister, brother, sister of time 

[Chorus:] 

Betcha never thought 

You'd make it 

Betcha never thought 

You'd see the light of day 

Betcha never thought 

You'd have it in your pocket 

Just catch you when you're falling 

[Chorus:] 

Just catch you when you're falling, falling 

[Chorus:] 

Betcha never thought you'd make it 

You'd make it 

It was the perfect opportunity 

Just looking at your quick mistakes 

So yo you finally went and did it
