If I wore clothes that weren't torn and stained Would you remember the person I once remained? What if I told you I once had it all? Would you believe how far someone can fall? If I shared my story, my hopes and fears Would you see past these weathered years? Would anyone give me one more try? If I reached out, would you let me fly? How many prayers must I send to the sky? When will someone hear my cry? (If this life's music gave me one more dance) (Would I shine with my second chance) If morning came with a different view Could I become someone new? What if my mistakes could fade away? Would tomorrow bring a brighter day? How long must I wander these streets alone? When will these sidewalks stop being my home? If fate had dealt different cards my way Would I be the one walking past me today? Would anyone give me one more try? If I reached out, would you let me fly? How many chances must pass me by Before someone sees me alive? I just need a chance
