Taking Chances
Taking Chances
The chances that we take,
equal the choices that we make,
we do what we must just to survive,
and we try everthing just to stay alive.
Every day is a brand new day,
a fresh path to show us the way.
We should learn from our mistakes,
change things around , mix and shake.
Nothing is written in stone,
our lives are our own.
To share with someone we love,
to give to god in heaven above.
If I had to take a chance,
a sneek preview of the future in advance,
I would jump right in with both feet,
and be happy with whatever I meet.
