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
