Brass Ring  
             
when I lost my job
I really got into a funk
I couldn't believe it happened to me
and the depths that I had sunk

but then I stopped one day
and heard inside of me
the gentle voice 
of opportunity

   chorus :  
the Brass Ring is there
things could always be worse
grab it when it comes around again
if you don't succeed at first

always try to stay
on the sunny side of life
'cuz it's always there 
waiting for you inside


 down some trails I've roamed
didn't care which way I'd go
every one of them seemed the same
like a leaf I was blown

I was not aware
that a force was guiding me
the random wind
of opportunity  
 
chorus
       ending        

the Brass Ring is there
things could always be worse
find your song
and write another verse
