Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I have an impact to leave
I have no impact I left
I tried hard and put myself in the world
And left not even a dent
Time will pass by and there is nothing to remember me by
I left nothing to prove the worth of my life
So here I am not even a ripple in the sea of time.
[Chorus]
If you listen to this song, will you remember me, even sing along?
If you hear me crying out, I did all I can, would I become worth a damn.
I dont want to be the fly that missed the ointment.
So if I sing this song, can you give me a dance?
[Verse 2]
Every one has ambitions when they're small, some lose them on the way
Some lose the means, some lose the love, it's a price they must pay
But I held onto dreams like stars in the night
Only to find they slipped through my fingers, out of sight
[Chorus]
If you listen to this song, will you remember me, even sing along?
If you hear me crying out, I did all I can, would I become worth a damn.
I dont want to be the fly that missed the ointment.
So if I sing this song, can you give me a dance?
[Bridge]
In the quiet moments, when the world stands still
I search for meaning, longing for a thrill
But the echoes of my efforts fade into the past
Leaving me wondering, how long can I last?
it's a price they must pay
But I held onto dreams like stars in the night
Only to find they slipped through my fingers, out of sight
[Chorus]
If you listen to this song, will you remember me, even sing along?
If you hear me crying out, I did all I can, would I become worth a damn.
I dont want to be the fly that missed the ointment.
So if I sing this song, can you give me a dance?
[Bridge]
In the quiet moments, when the world stands still
I search for meaning, longing for a thrill
But the echoes of my efforts fade into the past
Leaving me wondering, how long can I last?
[Verse 3]
I chased shadows of greatness, elusive and grand
But reality hit hard, like grains of sand
And now I'm left with fragments of what could have been
A silent witness to dreams that have dimmed
[Chorus - Modified Outro]
If you listen to this song, will you remember me, even sing along?
If you hear me crying out, I did all I can, would I become worth a damn.
I dont want to be the fly that missed the ointment.
But as the melody fades, will you hold me in your trance?
wondering, how long can I last?
[Verse 3]
I chased shadows of greatness, elusive and grand
But reality hit hard,
the shattered grains of glass
Now I'm only the fragments of what could have been
[Modified Chorus - Outro]
If you listen to this song, will you remember me, even sing along?
If you hear me crying out, I did all I can, would I become worth a damn.
I dont want to be the fly that missed the ointment.
But as the melody fades, will you hold me in your trance?
