Song Description

A plea for lfreedom from the ordinary repetition of existence - including love that confines and holds us back from becoming all we need to be

Lyrics

Give me one chance
© 2006 Bruce Mills (ASCAP)

Everyday is just the same day
Tomorrow's just another yesterday
Every song they play is just the same song
Same melody - same words to sing

Every night is the same night
Dreams disappear in the moonlight
Same old voices in the empty air
No words to say - no love to spare

Give me one chance - oh just a single chance to make it on my own - on my own
Please just let me go - it's time to let me go - to find my soul
You know I'll always love you - and keep you in my heart
But you've got to understand - I need a place to start
To make my own mistakes - to somehow find my way

I need to find my song - to dance a whole night long - all on my own
To sail across the sea and find my destiny - out there - somewhere
To spread these wings and learn to fly - beyond the clouds and rainbows high
I've got a dream - I've got to follow through - to make my dream come true

Everyday is just the same day
Tomorrow's just another yesterday
Every song they play is just the same old song
Same melody - same words to sing

Every night is the same night
Dreams disappearing in the moonlight
Same old voices in the empty air
No poetry - no love to share

Memories fading like post cards - sent from the edge of time
Diamonds in the rain - they all look just the same - as water -
The candles burn so slowly in the rain - our love was just a stepping stone
Please call my name - wherever you may be -
Your spirit always with me - but I've got to go my way - alone

No crystal ball guarantees that love will last forever
Everything can change - when it comes to stormy weather
No magic words or miracles can give us back the love we've lost
But love is letting go - and freedom is the cost
Let me go - I'll let you go - in return

The river doesn't end - with the waterfall
It just becomes stronger on its way
If we can't walk - then we got to try to sail
If we can't sail - then we're going to have to learn / have to learn to fly
And if we can't fly - then we'll have to learn to walk again
We'll start again - we'll find our hearts - somewhere
