Story Behind The Song
I'm an unknown singer songwriter who has written over a hundred songs...but the operative word is unknown...
Song Description
What are we supposed to do with our lives and are we doing it? Sometimes it's fate sometimes it's luck...what ever it is it keeps us wondering. But no matter how long it takes to find out that burning place in our soul keeps us from giving up.

Lyrics
One Time, One Chance
Why's the summer always go so fast?
Whys' the winter always drag?
Why's my life just like a pebble thrown
Spinning out of control
Rolling down that road
Dreams may come and go
They don't care how
Hard you've been praying
Feet don't fail me now
Don't trip don't fall
Until I get where I'm going
One time, one chance
It's all that I'm asking for
One sign, one glance
To prove that I can be more
Find out what my life is for
Find out what my life is for
It's an age old question
I'm not the first to ask
Why should I get an answer?
When the answer can't be grasp
Why do children
lose their innocence?
Why do the unhappy
blame circumstance?
Why's it so hard to get along
Are we so hell bent
on who's right and who's wrong?
Time will come and go it won't care how
Hard you've been praying
Dreams don't fail me now
Don't hit the wall
Before I get where I'm going
One time, one chance
It's all that I'm asking for
One sign, one glance
To prove that I can be more
Find out what my life is for
Find out what my life is for
One time, one chance
It's all that I'm asking for
One sign, one glance
To prove that I can be more
Find out what my life is for
Find out what my life is for
Find out what my life is for
Tell me what my life is for
