When opportunity knocks
You've got to go for it
Take your life and see what
You have to show for it
When you follow that star
Don't move too slow for it
Show the world who you are
Get up and go for it
If you cannot dig the scene you're in today, no
Slip into another year and pull away, hear me now
Catch up to the finer things in life
You can really make it if you try, don't you know (you're free)
When opportunity knocks
You've got to go for it
Take your life and see what
You have to show for it
When you follow that star
Don't move too slow for it
Show the world who you are
Get up and go for it
Shake a-loose the things that bring you down (so low)
Oh, they bring you down
Break away the bad habits you down (let go)
Turn it all a-loose now
Don't you know the world can be your go
If you make that move and take it in
Put it on the one now
Don't let nothing ever bring you down
Once you get up, don't you dare look down
Conquer your dream, it's your chance, don't quit
Listen to Shalamar, get up and go for it
When opportunity knocks
You've got to go for it
Take your life and see what
You have to show for it
When you follow that star
Don't move too slow for it
Show the world who you are
Get up and go for it
Hey, what are you doing there?
Get out of here!
Get out, get out of here!
