Second Chance

I hung my hat on a wishing tree

I asked for one wish

I could've had three

But I only asked for what I needed

Could've asked for money riches and wealth

But all I really wanted was to find myself

Unaccustomed as I was to seeking

And my heart whispered inside

And the moon rose and the angels sighed

And they said

Here comes your second chance

You'd better believe it

Open up and receive it

Here comes your second chance

Take a deep breath

This is your second chance

Make peace with your mother

And your father, too

Make peace with the stranger inside of you

And forgive yourself

For the things you tried

And failed to do

Embrace your anger

Your lust and your greed

That's how we drop the things

That we don't need

Pick up a musical instrument

Or plant a seed

That was my heart whispering inside

"Welcome", it said, "You're home and dry"

Here comes your second chance

You'd better believe it

Open up and receive it

Here comes your second chance

Take a deep breath

This is your second chance

Well the years went by

And my wish came true

And I find myself here with you

I had to climb that mountain

There was no was around it

And we all come and go like waves in the sea

Each with our own responsibility

To leave this world

More beautiful than we found it

That's your heart whispering inside

And you know your heart, it never lied

Here comes your second chance.

You'd better believe it

Open up and receive it

Here comes your second chance

Take a deep breath

This is your second chance
