Story Behind The Song

I was riding on a very long bus ride, reading, people watching, listening to music. These words were penned while I contemplated how my life was going and the opportunities that lay before me.

Song Description

Have you ever wondered why you are here on earth? Life is all about taking risks and overcoming fear of failure, learning from mistakes and making the most of each day.

Lyrics

A Chance
© 2000 Elnora Pittman

There?s a blank piece of paper
But the words are in the pen
And John Doe is a genius
That no one?s heard of yet
There?s a picture on the wall
That has not yet been painted
There?s a sculpture in someone?s mind
That won?t be created

There are seeds on the shelf
That may never be flowers
Great architect plans
That may never be flowers
There?s a clown that will never be
Who doesn?t want to wear make up
And people who don?t fall in love
?Cause they?re afraid they will break up

Chorus:
Opportunities come and go
If you don?t try, you?ll never know
Some day your work will pay off
Make the most of today
Don?t let it slip away
Why sit there in a trance
Give yourself a chance
Give yourself a chance

There are spoiled children
Who never grow up
And important interviews
Where people don?t show up
There?s a clown who will never be
Who doesn?t want to wear make up
And people who don?t fall in love
?Cause they?re afraid they will break up

Bridge:
Nobody?s perfect
Not everyone?s a scholar
The price of happiness
Doesn?t always mean dollars
You?re searching hard for a meaning
God put you here for a reason
