Take the Chance
Life has a way of changing your perspective
Because most of us know what we want
Most look for the definites
Whereas I, on the other hand,
Am wishing only for the possibility
Wanting only the chance of opportunity
While everyone wants to be world renowned
I only want the chance to have a stage
While everyone wants to be rich and wealthy
I only want the chance of a lifetime
So many others want to be cool
I just wish I have the chance to be myself
And no one wants to be a bum
But I long for the opportunity of struggle
They all want their face on a screen
I’m looking forward to the chance on a postcard
Millions want their names in lights
I hope I get chance for a bulletin board
Everybody wants to be in the love
I can settle for the chance to be a fling
And while every, single, one wants to be your one and only
I’m wishing for the possibility of rejection
