So Nigh but so Far

no I don’t know how good I am
I’m just unable to sense
all I stand for, all I stand for
so often I am on the brink
but then I set in to rethink
what I’m up to, how I appeal to them
so in the end and finally I need
no more to wait and see
to prosper and succeed
it’s so nigh, it’s so nigh, it’s so nigh but so far
and always I’m feeling under par
and I sigh ‚cause I don’t have the gall to do
whatever comes up to me
it’s so nigh, it’s so nigh, it’s so nigh but so far
and always I’m feeling under par
and I sigh ‚cause I don’t don’t dare at all to do
seems I am the odd one out
no one can allay these doubts
where it takes me, where it takes me
so in the end and finally I need
the self-esteem indeed
to prosper and succeed
it’s so nigh, it’s so nigh, it’s so nigh but so far
and always I’m feeling under par
and I sigh ‚cause I don’t have the gall to do
whatever comes up to me
it’s so nigh, it’s so nigh, it’s so nigh but so far
and always I’m feeling under par
and I sigh ‚cause I don’t don’t dare at all to do
whatever comes up to
imagine how it aches
feeling out of place
born to be a shadow of oneself
I don’t wake up, no not even I awake
when land begins to tremble
and sky begins to storm
it’s so nigh, it’s so nigh, it’s so nigh but so far
and always I’m feeling under par
and I sigh ‚cause I don’t have the gall to do
whatever comes up to me
it’s so nigh, it’s so nigh, it’s so nigh but so far
and always I’m feeling under par
and I sigh ‚cause I don’t don’t dare at all to do
whatever comes up to me
