A Chance To Believe (Reversed)

Big-top cinematic pop with soaring strings, bold brass stabs, and rolling toms, Mid-tempo waltz that flips into a driving 4-on-the-floor for the chorus, Huge mixed choir on the hook, kids’ voices tucked under the final refrain; male vocals lead with theatrical flair, layered with bright female harmonies in the lift

V4.5-ALL

[Verse 1]
Hand-me-down shoes on a tightrope wire
Counting my steps
Hiding my fire
They say
"Keep small
Keep safe
Keep still"
But this small spark keeps bending my will

[Pre-Chorus]
What if the world is wider than this?
Past these painted walls
Past “can’t” and “if”
I feel the drum in my chest start to rise
Something shouting from inside

[Chorus]
Give me a chance to believe
In the wild
In the brave
In the dreamer in me
Throw the doors open wide
Let the doubt
Let the dust
Fall back from our eyes
We were made
We were made to see
More than the stories they hand us for free
One step out on the wire
And I finally breathe
All I need
Is a chance to believe (oh-oh)

[Verse 2]
Ticket in hand
But I swept the floor
Watched from the dark
Pressed up to the door
Faces in lights
They looked just like me
Only difference was they chose to be seen

[Pre-Chorus]
What if the break I’m waiting for
Is hiding right behind my own fear-soaked door?
Take a breath
Take a bow in my mind
Hear the future roar this time

[Bridge]
Raise up your hands if you’ve ever been told
You’re too much
Too loud
Too young
Too old
Look around
Hear the sound
Every heart in this ring
Beating out the same old thing

We don’t need crowns or a famous last name
Just a crack in the dark and a flicker of flame
If you’re scared
Take my hand
We can both be afraid
Every legend started this way

[Chorus]
Give us a chance to believe
In the wild
In the brave
In the “someday” we see
Throw the doors open wide
Let the doubt
Let the dust
Fall back from our eyes
We were made
We were made to be
More than a footnote in somebody’s speech
One step out on the wire
And we finally breathe
Side by side
On a chance to believe (oh-oh)
Side by side
On a chance to believe
