Christopher Smith - A Chance for Me lyrics

[CAPTAIN NEWTON] Who would have ever believed it would come to this Would that I could undo mistakes that I have made Or buy back the opportunities I have missed Now others are paying for all of these games I've played Sometimes it seems I've spent a lifetime Pursuing things that just won't last What I believe would bring fulfillment Has become the chain that holds me fast I've wasted all these years Choked back a thousand tears And stared in my face of my darkest fears I banished from my mind the pain of those I left behind But now, we will see if there's still a chance for me What will I leave behind if God should come and take my life from me? If everything I've worked for should become a memory All my pride and achievement would fall around his feet And a son I hardly know would be my only legacy Is there a chance for me? For one who can finally see That there must be more than prosperity Can I ever return to the bridges I have burned? My heart's only plea, that you will decree That there's still a chance for me
