Chloe Quinn — American Icon Finale

[Verse 1 — piano, intimate]

Mama says I came here fightin',

Daddy says I came here blessed,

Two big brothers built a fortress

Like the world was some kinda test.

I grew up where the mountains

Turn the sunset into gold,

Singin' to an open window,

Dreamin' bigger than I told.

And every time I took the long way,

Somehow I still made it through;

Every door I thought was closin'

Opened up to somethin' new.

[Pre-Chorus — acoustic guitar enters]

Maybe stars don't choose their wishes,

Maybe wishes choose their stars;

Maybe you don't need to know the road

To know just who y'are.

[Chorus]

So what are the chances

I'd be standin' here tonight?

One heart outta millions,

One voice beneath these lights.

What are the chances

That a dream could travel this fahr?

Maybe luck is just believin'

There's a place for who y'are.

If the whole world says impossible,

I know what my answer is—

What are the chances?

Maybe better'n you think.

[Verse 2 — country-pop groove builds]

I've had pennies land on edges,

Caught the last train outta town,

I've seen rain wait for the right time

'Fore it ever started comin' down.

And I've wondered if the good things

Were just borrowed for a while;

So I learned to keep on singin'

Even when I'm scared to smile.

'Cause you don't get to pick the moment

When yer whole life starts to change;

Sometimes all you get's a heartbeat

And the courage to remain.

[Pre-Chorus]

Maybe stars don't choose their wishes,

Maybe wishes choose their stars;

Maybe every little accident

Is showin' us just who we are.

[Chorus — fuller]

So what are the chances

I'd be standin' here tonight?

One heart outta millions,

One voice beneath these lights.

What are the chances

That a dream could travel this fahr?

Maybe luck is just believin'

There's a place for who y'are.

If the whole world says impossible,

I know what my answer is—

What are the chances?

Maybe better'n you think.

[Bridge — drops to piano and voice]

I don't know why I got this moment.

I don't know why I got this song.

I don't know why some roads find ya

When yer sure you don't belong.

But if I only get one lifetime,

I'm gonna spend it bein' me;

And if somebody wrote my story—

They don't get the final scene.

[Beat — nearly a cappella]

No, they don't get the final scene.

[Final Chorus — full band, soaring head voice]

What are the chances

We were all supposed to meet?

All these different little stories

Leadin' right here to our feet.

What are the chances

There's a reason that we are

Exactly where we're standin',

Exactly who we are?

Let the whole world say impossible—

Let 'em tell me what can't be.

What are the chances?

[Music drops back to piano]

Pretty damn good...

[soft laugh]

...if yer me.

[Outro — acoustic guitar and piano]

Maybe luck is just a doorway.

Maybe dreams are just the key.

I don't know what comes tomorrow...

But tonight—

It came for me.
