given a chance
life will keep living
given a chance
death backs away
given a chance
we can all be forgiving
given a chance
we can all change our ways

given a chance
the sun will shine
given a chance
the stars will glow
given a chance
a bell will chime
given a chance
faith will grow

given a chance
everyone is human
given a chance
we can all feel guilt
given a chance
you can become a new man
given a chance
new lives can be built

given a chance
light will prevail
given a chance
we believe in hope
given a chance
our ships will set sail
given a chance
we all learn to cope

given a chance
we all make our mark
given a chance
someone will see it
given a chance
a tree grows bark
given a chance
I hope you believe it

given a chance
we look past ourselves
given a chance
we look out for others
given a chance
into the heart we delve
given a chance
we are there for one another
