Opportunities? A song....

La, la, la, la, la, la ,la ,la,la, la-a
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la-a
La, la la la la la la la la la-a
La,la,la,la,laaa

Now that I've fought everything for you
You say you wanna start something new
And it's scarin' my heart you're leavin'
Baby, I'm hopin'
But if your luck's to leave, take good care
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there

Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just on a smile, girl
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
I'll always remember you as my child, girl

You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breakin' my heart in two
Because I never wanna see you sad, girl
Don't be a bad girl
But if your luck's to leave, take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware

I love you
But if your luck's to leave, take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware

(Cat Stevens sang the original to me, First Class on the way to Japan. I know, First Class! Funny the luck when you're scared. Stiggers changed the words a little when I got back earlier. She knows what I'm feeling, what I'm hoping, why I'm scared. She's hoping I'm going to get lucky and I can take my son home. Finally home. Me, I've given up hoping. Hope is terrifying. Have you ever hoped?)
