Sometimes you nail it
Sometimes you don't
You just can't predict
When you will or you won't
You need to prepare
It might fall from the air
It happened one time
And never again
A stroke on the canvas
My Mona Lisa
It's always a struggle
To get it just right
You work from the morning
Till late in the night
You strive for perfection
You fear you will lose your direction
We struck a chord
In perfect harmony
We got it just right
The way it's supposed to be
Sometimes you're lucky
Through all your hard work
Sometimes you're not
And you go berserk
You hope for the best
But the weary don't rest
