The Chance Lyrics

The Chance lyrics

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
