“SECOND CHANCES (from the musical - ALLEGIANCE)
An emptiness is all there is to see
The joy that you once knew, a distant memory
When the purpose of each morning
Is forgotten with each night…
And it doesn’ t seem to matter
If you give up or you fight…
Look again, that is when your world’s about to change
Nothing in life is so permanent that love can’t rearrange…
Second chances, life is rich with second chances
Second songs with second dances, second melodies
For if you’ve only got one shot
If once or nothing’s all you’ve got
Your days would just be filled with single moments, single memories
But I believe hearts can conceive
Of more than one bright happy ending
Roads may split in two, you can’t go down both so fast
We know and yet we still forget our paths are never so unbending
Life has given you a second chance…
Second chances, the world provides with second chances
New adventures, new romances, new responsibilities
For if you’re always looking back
Your eyes might miss the second track
You take no chances, seize no day
Leave no possibilities
But hearts desire, heart’s a fire
A place you grow from a single ember
Yesterday turns toward tomorrow
A brand new circumstance
What’s past is past but it’s not the last
We’re not alive to just remember
When life has said to you, not a chance but two
Life has granted you a second chance…
