CHANCE TO START OVER

written by Sonia Lee & Gracie Hollombe Vandiver

I WAS CHASING MY DREAMS WITH EACH DRINK THAT WENT DOWN

IT’S LIKE CHASING A TRAIN THAT’S MILES OUT OF TOWN

PICTURING FAR AWAY LANDS IN MY HEAD

BUT I NEVER GOT PAST THE EDGE OF MY BED

UNTIL I FINALLY GAVE UP THE FIGHT

AND SWEET SURRENDER GAVE ME BACK MY LIFE

CHORUS:

EACH MOMENT HOLDS A CHANCE TO START OVER

EVEN IF YOU ONLY SAY THE SMALLEST PRAYER

IT’S NOT THE FALLING DOWN THAT MAKES US FAIL…

IT’S THE STAYING THERE

I DON’T KNOW WHY I WAITED SO LONG

TO STOP GOING DOWN THAT ROAD I WAS ON

LIVING MY LIFE IN PITY AND SHAME

IF THE DEVIL HAD HIS WAY I’D STILL BE PLAYING HIS GAME

BUT IN A MOMENT OF CLARITY

A GENTLE VOICE SPOKE TO ME

(CHORUS)

BRIDGE:

WELL YOU CAN DWELL ON THE PAST,

ON ALL YOUR MISTAKES, IF YOU LIKE

OR YOU CAN PICK YOURSELF UP

AND STEP INTO THE SUNLIGHT

(CHORUS)

TAG:  IT’S NOT THE FALLING DOWN THAT MAKES US FAIL

IT’S THE STAYING THERE
