2nd Chances

Have you ever wondered if there really were second chances? Do you believe in them? I once thought that we get as many chances needed But I guess that I thought wrong… The first chance is always hard To get back up on your feet But I still hold on to that bit of hope… Like the stars! I'll keep going till I burn out Like a river! I'll keep pushing forward till I dry out Simply because… I have someone right behind me And I believe that I have a second chance now Which means that second chances are real! But this is true once you have someone to love Who loves you back as well… Though you may think that many obstacles are too tough To simply break right through… And once you have fallen deep enough into your own hole Do you believe that you can get back out? My life had nothing but holes And a few ditches as well But I now can keep going because of her… Like a rose! I'll keep living till I wither away Like a river! I'll keep flowing till there's no way Simply because… I have someone who believes in me And I believe that I have a second chance now Which means that second chances are real! This is very true once you have someone to love Who loves you back as well… The first chance is always hard To get back up on your feet But I still hold on to that bit of hope… Like the stars! I'll keep going till I burn out Like a river! I'll keep pushing forward till I dry out Simply because… I have someone right behind me And I believe that I have a second chance now… Like a rose! I'll keep living till I wither away Like a river! I'll keep flowing till there's no way Simply because… I have someone who believes in me And I believe that I have a second chance now Which means that second chances are real! This is very true once you have someone to love Who loves you back as well… And…that is why I will always be happy Because I have someone like her…
