Summary
Proactive Living
It’s hard for me to make a choice,
If I listen to all, I can’t hear my voice,
Caught in a fool’s reverie,
If I’m only a dreamer, let my dreams be,
Will I be lucky? Will you ever take my hand….
I’m A Player – Babe Gurr
Proactive Living
Chorus Don’t hold me back, don’t turn me down,
Don’t think that I give up easily,
Don’t kill my dream, don’t stop the game,
I’m in for all that I have to give,
‘Cause I’m a player.
I’m A Player – Babe Gurr
Proactive Living
At times, I feel I’m up against the wall,
But if you remove it, I just might fall,
Chasing that so distant goal,
And when I get there, will I trade my soul?
Will I be lucky? Will you ever take my hand…
I’m A Player – Babe Gurr
Proactive Living
Chorus Don’t hold me back, don’t turn me down,
Don’t think that I give up easily,
Don’t kill my dream, don’t stop the game,
I’m in for all that I have…
I’m A Player – Babe Gurr
Proactive Living
‘Cause I’m a player, and I won’t be denied,
I’m a dreamer, and I hold my dreams tight,
I’m a believer, who will be satisfied,
I’m on my way, I’m here to stay…..
I’m A Player – Babe Gurr
Proactive Living
Chorus Don’t hold me back, don’t turn me down,
Don’t think that I give up easily,
Don’t kill my dream, don’t stop the game,
I’m in for all that I have to give…
(repeat chorus)
I’m a player.
I’m A Player – Babe Gurr
