A Second Chance

I look around     all I see     are the people     running through me
I was asleep      my final rest     in thirty years    from now I guess
What can I do    can I change    or am I here   to re-arrange
My hand goes through   solid matter    except the floor   where people scatter
I seem to float    from here to there      do I go home     do I dare
What will I find    when will I’ll be   can I change    myself to me
See a face    in a windowpane     I feel like now   I’m going insane
Matter becomes    energy    and I’m changing    into me
Now I’m looking   through a window glass     and I can feel    the changing past
I feel different    been misshapen    I know the future     and what will happen
Now my next step    to see someone     I love dearly       second to none
I’ll know what to do    at the dance    you see now     I have a second chance
