Opportunity knocks
while luck just barges in,
and déjà vu delivers you your neighbour's mail again.
While fortune fumbles with the keys
and doom hasn't left your couch in days,
opportunity, at least opportunity has the courtesy to knock.
Opportunity knocks.
But destiny doesn't do deliveries
and fate needs be picked up at the airport.
While coincidence tells you the good news of your saviour,
wishes steal your welcome mat,
but opportunity, opportunity knocks.
Blessings come as bedsheet ghosts, chanting
"trick or treat, smell our feet, give us something good to eat,
not too big and not too small, just the size of Montréal".
Whereas opportunity, opportunity knocks.
