Fighting Chance

i wait with open arms & eyes

ignoring all the fear & lies

close off contact with childish games

they have no faces, they have no names

plumet further in myself

fighing for what my future holds

turning loose, my past a memory

must be couragous, must be bold

holding tight the tail of my future

flying past the saddened rage

soaring by the memory of forever

my life's a book, i turn the page

i made a promise in my heart

an oath in my soul & my mind

never get held down & dont hold back

you may even need to jump ahead blind

but do it with courage

a smile, wink & nod

dont even think twice

you'll beat the odds

when the old door closes

another opens up new

to bring hope & opportunity

& a fighting chance for you
