Chance

Chance By BJ Welsh With life and living we take our chance Nodding in agreement to a furtive glance Waking up each day is a chance we take That life will deliver us for Heaven’s sake We awake each sunrise with a hope reborn Chance seeing an other suffer and torn It’s one other’s life you see at a glance Hoping for approval, it’s but a chance The life you witness as others pass The pain inside may subside, alas Hoping to see one as you The chance you take to find two Running out of time the clock is ticking Chance there are others whose lives aren’t clicking Great as that may be, the chance you’re all alone rises Furtive glances from beneath disguises Chance that hiding the pain and hurt won’t last The agony you feel will not be fast Chance you soon become discovered In your waking hours its’ uncovered You’ve lived a life of hurt and pain The chance you’ve taken may have been in vain
