Hello there you tell me
You got a lot of real respect for my kind the old timers
Well, I'm old enough to know the rules nobody gave me the book
I had to learn to improvize myself and time and time I let me down
Until I learned the hard way how to feel what's real

You get one chance at a life to give it all and get it right
After all this time in mine everything I thought I knew
Was telling me to give it up and leave it all behind
But you get endless second chances to take it one chance at a time

For love and money I made a lot of dumb mistakes in my time
Believe me I proved and proved it I can't believe I'm gonna prove it again
It's time to reinvent myself where the hell does the fire come from
When making it don't make it anymore, hello

And you get one chance at a life to give it all and get it right
After all this time in mine everything I thought I knew
Was telling me to give it up and leave it all behind
Oh, but you get endless second chances to take it one chance at a time

Time and love I been looking all my life for time and love
Hoping a breeze will come and take me
I been waiting and waiting and sailing in one place
Like a bird against the wind afraid to turn and fly away

You get one chance at a life to give it all and get it right
After all this time in mine everything I thought I knew
Was telling me to give it up and leave it all behind, oh
But you get endless second chances
Endless second chances to take it one chance at a time

One chance at a time, one chance at a time
One chance at a time, one chance at a time
One chance at a time, one chance at a time
