One Chance

We walk alone on the road of life;
It's only us, ourselves, each other and our ideas to guide us.

A single chance is there for the taking
Once strong arms, now are tired, and shaking
from the weight of the world that is now making
those who're determined, give up....

You can turn away, choose not to deal
with the hurt life offers, the pain that's real
You can hide away and never reveal
your true talents and potential, but the creator knows what you conceal.......

So turn back around, lift up that sad face
Realize that not the entire world is a disgrace
And know that when you're last in the race
Your loved ones will help you back up to the pace.......

Know you are loved, know someone cares
life is hard, almost always unfair
But when you're lost without a prayer,
Look beside you; I'll be there....

One life, one shot is all we get
do your best so you don't regret
The choices you've made, never forget
that what you do matters, how much toil and sweat
you put into trying, only by you is your destiny set.
