The Chance(Album Version)

歌詞

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 just like mine With every page that 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 out here on this road, I'm makin up for lost time Yeah, I am my mother's child And tonight in this car I've got her words in my suitcase and her dreams in my heart 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
