maybe one chance

Hard rock with driving 4-on-the-floor kick, chunky downpicked guitars, punchy tom fills, and a rising pre-chorus that opens into shouted, anthemic choruses; verse rides tight palm-muted riffs, pre-chorus strips to bass and snare, chorus hits with gang vocals and stacked female lead doubles, bridge drops to half-time with a raw close-mic confession then final chorus explodes with octave guitar lead and ride cymbal lift, Bright, aggressive, arena-sized mix with gritty vocal edge, delay throws on the hook, and a slammed, modern master, hard rock

[Verse 1] He called my name like smoke From the crack in the door Same hands, same scarred-up voice I’ve heard that lie before Mama said, “Don’t you bend” My friends all shook their heads But blood is a hard old chain It drags me back again [Pre-Chorus] I know the cuts I know the cost I know the nights We both got lost Still I keep hearing The little girl in me Saying “if he falls” Shouldn’t I be [Chorus] Give him one more chance Give him one more chance That’s my father That’s my damage Give him one more chance Give him one more chance They all said “no” But I still can’t [Verse 2] There’s a photograph Bent in the kitchen drawer Me on his old front steps Seven years or more He was a thunderstorm He was a slammed-back door But he’s still the man I got And I’m not eight anymore [Pre-Chorus] I know the shame I know the blame I know the way He said my name But if he’s drowning And I can see the sea Tell me who am I If I just leave [Chorus] Give him one more chance Give him one more chance That’s my father That’s my damage Give him one more chance Give him one more chance They all said “no” But I still can’t [Bridge] If I forgive him Does that make me weak? If I let him in Do I bury me? I’ve got a hard line I’ve got a torn heart I can love the man And still not trust the dark [Final Chorus] Give him one more chance Give him one more chance That’s my father That’s my damage Give him one more chance Give him one more chance They all said “no” But I still can’t Give him one more chance Give him one more chance I’m not blind I’m just his child
