From the recording You Gotta Show Up
You can make your own luck and make your dreams come true, but you gotta show up!
Lyrics
He said he'd be home for dinner but midnight found her alone. His business could have been a winner if he only paid his loan. Lot's of chances people gave him but they all got let down. He said "I'll do better on the next time around."
You gotta show up if you want to know what in the world you are able to do. You can make your own luck and make your dreams come true, but you gotta show up!
He always had some crisis. it wasn't his fault. Someone else made him do it; nothing he could have done at all. Then he won the lottery. The ticket was in his hand but he missed the deadline. Still, he couldn't understand.
You gotta show up...etc.
It was a lovely ceremony but only the preacher came. No one else believed it; expecting more of the same. It was a very moving sermon. I can still hear the preacher call. In the end we're all the same; one time once and for all.
You gotta show up...etc.
