Lyrics
Chance to Learn
Running in place, walking this race
Can?t seem to move from this spot
Losing this game, seems such a shame
When I gave all I?ve got
Shake my hand twice
Then throw the dice
Hoping to roll a free turn
Joker came up
That was my luck
Guess this will be
One more chance to learn
Finding a nickel down on a sidewalk
Thinking its worth more than me
Step on a crack, break my mom?s back
Then look up and see
Blue sky, so high
How my soul yearns
Like a ripe juicy peach
Just out of my each
Guess this will be
One more chance to learn
Like the light on the wall
I?m hoping to fall
Out of the shadows again
When I look around
Seems like I?ve found
I?m back where I started and then
Shake my hand twice
Then throw the dice
Hoping to roll a free turn
Joker came up
That was my luck
Guess this will be
One more chance to learn
