The Chance
I found a book that my mama kept Filled with secrets she hid And in a dusty old attic, one mornin' I read About a woman I never met Who had dreams like mine With every page I turned, the words came alive Wish I could roll out of town like a run-away train I'll do as I dare, let them call me insane I'll never sit on the sidelines of life, I'll dance every dance If I just had the chance A tear fell on that faded page 'Cause this was somebody else Not the mama I knew who never thought of herself But the times, they were different then And lines just didn't get crossed And these words that she wrote, they somehow got lost Wish I could roll out of town like a run-away train I'll do as I dare, let them call me insane I'll never sit on the sidelines of life, I'll dance every dance If I just had the chance The chance that she never had Is now the gift that is mine And our here on this road, I'm makin' up for lost time Yeah, I am my mother's child As I roll out of town like a run-away train I'll do as I dare, let them call me insane I'll never sit on the sidelines of life, I'll dance every dance While I still have the chance I'll never sit on the sidelines of life, I'll dance every dance While I still have the chance From Letras Mania
