One More Chance
Layin in the park light
Just another dark night
No one around
But the angels' in sight
Reachin from the sky
To take me away
But it's not my time
So I begin to pray
Give me just an hour
Or just one day
To tell my wife and kids
That I just can't stay
I know I'm not the best
God let this be a test
Please give me one more chance
Before you lay me to rest
I see the heavens open
A voice says "feel no pain"
As my soul rises higher
I stand above the rain
Now walking down a tunnel
A hallway lit so bright
With my family at the end
Dressed in gold and white
A smile on my face
With tears below my eyes
I reached with my hand
To be closer to the skies
They said "you must return"
I started losing sight
A voice said "don't worry"
"Everthing will be alright"
I took a deep breath
And with just a single glance
I was back in the park
Thank you for another chance
