Not This Time

My head is in the clouds
But it's raining down on me.
I am traveling so far
But this path is leading me nowhere.

I am tryin' so damn hard
But it's like I can't catch a break.
I try to do good deeds
But Karma just isn't on my side.

Not this time,
Not this time.

How can right feel so wrong?
How can time take so long?
What do I need to do
To prove my worth?

I go the extra mile
But the track brings me back to start.
I run until I collapse
But have no time to catch my breath.

Not this time,
Not this time.
