Second Chance

I hung my hat on a wishing tree
I asked for one wish
I could've had three
But I only asked for what I needed

Could've asked for money riches and wealth
But all I really wanted was to find myself
Unaccustomed as I was to seeking

And my heart whispered inside
And the moon rose and the angels sighed
And they said

Here comes your second chance
You'd better believe it
Open up and receive it
Here comes your second chance
Take a deep breath
This is your second chance

Make peace with your mother
And your father, too
Make peace with the stranger inside of you
And forgive yourself
For the things you tried
And failed to do

Embrace your anger
Your lust and your greed
That's how we drop the things
That we don't need
Pick up a musical instrument
Or plant a seed

That was my heart whispering inside
"Welcome", it said, "You're home and dry"

Here comes your second chance
You'd better believe it
Open up and receive it
Here comes your second chance
Take a deep breath
This is your second chance

Well the years went by
And my wish came true
And I find myself here with you
I had to climb that mountain
There was no was around it

And we all come and go like waves in the sea
Each with our own responsibility
To leave this world
More beautiful than we found it
That's your heart whispering inside
And you know your heart, it never lied

Here comes your second chance.
You'd better believe it
Open up and receive it
Here comes your second chance
Take a deep breath
This is your second chance
