Take The Chance

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

There's a little girl playing in the garden

She thinks that she's alone and no one sees

But the beauty of it all

As the daisy petals fall

Is the wish she's made that's whispered in the breeze

There's the wish in the breeze

Chorus:

Won't you take the chance

And let your tears start falling

And ignore the fearful warning of your mind

Let your heart for once do all the talking

And believe that you deserve for the sun to shine

Believe that you deserve for the sun to shine

There's an old woman sitting in the doorway

And she greets the people each one as they pass

Sometimes they hover 'round her for her wisdom

Sometimes so she'll remind them how to laugh

They know that she'll remind them how to laugh

Chorus

Now on a hill there stands a cross above a graveyard

And the simple word carved in it says forgive

No war or killing anger can match the force it carries

It can heal the generations so that other ones can live

It can heal us, so we can live

Chorus

Now there's a moment between forward and retreating

When you're just not sure which path you ought to choose

Then the sun shines brightly on the golden meadow

And suddenly, you're not at all confused

Suddenly, you're not confused

That's when you take the chance

And let your tears start falling

And ignore the fearful warnings of your mind

And you let your heart for once do all the talking

And believe that you deserve for the sun to shine

You always did deserve for the sun to shine

I love you, and I want the sun to shine.
