Willing to Take a Chance

All my life I’ve been wasting time so afraid of what people think and what they might say. So, I played it safe doing everything someone else’s way, always wondering who I am, asking myself again and again.

But I’m willing to take a chance. Yes, I’m ready to take a chance, to awaken these dreams buried deep inside of me.

All my life following all the rules. Doing everything other people do just to fit in. But the saddest part is I never did. Now I look back and wonder what I could have been.

But I’m willing to take a chance. Yes, I’m ready to take a chance, to awaken these dreams buried deep inside of me.

All my life friends weaved their way in and out, leaving me so confused. And there have been lovers too, that I’ve amused. I’m left empty. Nothing’s ever filled me.

But I’m willing to take a chance. Yes, I’m ready to take a chance, to awaken these dreams buried deep inside of me.

All my life keeping quiet like a blanket draped over the couch. Hoping someone out there would unfold me on a rainy day. Maybe someone could see the possibility in me before it was too late.

But I’m willing to take a chance. Yes, I’m ready to take a chance, to awaken these dreams buried deep inside of me.
