    Lyrics
    Another turning point
    A fork stuck in the road
    Time grabs you by the wrist
    Directs you where to go
    So make the best of this test
    And don't ask why
    It's not a question
    But a lesson learned in time

    It's something unpredictable
    But in the end it's right
    I hope you had the time of your life

    So take the photographs
    And still frames in your mind
    Hang it on a shelf of good health and good time
    Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
    For what it's worth
    It was worth all the while
    It's something unpredictable
    But in the end it's right
    I hope you had the time of your life.....

    It's something unpredictable
    But in the end it's right
    I hope you had the time of your life.....

    It's something unpredictable
    But in the end it's right
    I hope you had the time of your life.....
