Story Behind The Song
"Second Chances" is the fourth track on Patsy Moore's album, Expatriates, a concept project that is a story told in eleven parts...all about exiles and émigrés, dissidents and diasporas, the banished and the escaped...an intimate rumination on immigrants (willing and otherwise) and the displaced or transplanted--literally and metaphorically--among us...who, indeed, *are* us.

Lyrics
Counter-clockwise
Yearly revolution
This pivot on the fulcrum
This hope for absolution
We both know, we both know
We both know the status quo is ebb and flow
As life retreats, so it advances
You and I, you and I
You and I are second chances
Breathe in
Breathe out
Reinvention
Is routine human game
As are these best intentions
These ventilated flames
We both know, we both know
We both know the status quo is ebb and flow
And even exiles do these dances
You and I, you and I
You and I are second chances
Breathe in
Breathe out...
