Second Chance
Allies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'd give it your best
Wouldn't settle for less
I'm sure the plans you made were sincere
Your intentions were true
They just weren't followed through, no
He's giving you a second chance
To start all over again
He's giving you a second chance
(Giving you a second chance)
Now by faith you'll be, what you failed to be
This may be the last time your heart will break
This may be the last chance you'll ever have to take
He's giving you a second chance!
You made a promise from the start
That you tried to keep
And now you can see
You left the compromise in your heart
And as soon as you pray
He'll take it away
He's giving you a second chance
(Giving you a second chance)
To start all over again
He's giving you a second chance
(Giving you a second chance)
Now by faith you'll be, what you failed to be
You've got a second chance!
(May be your last time)
You've got a second chance!
(This may be your last time)
He's giving you a second chance
(Giving you a second chance)
To start all over again
He's giving you a second chance
(Giving you a second chance)
You got a (second chance)
He's giving you a second chance
He's giving you a second chance, Oh!
You've got a (second chance)

The lyrics of Allies' song "Second Chance" are about the opportunity to start over and do better in a relationship or in life. The first verse talks about how the person may have had good intentions and plans initially, but they were not followed through. The chorus then emphasizes that the person is being given a second chance, possibly their last opportunity, to start over and become the person they failed to be before. The second verse speaks about making a promise and trying to keep it, but finding compromise in their heart. The song then repeats the chorus, highlighting the idea that they have been given a second chance for a reason, to become a better version of themselves.
Overall, the song is a message of hope and encouragement to persevere in spite of past mistakes or shortcomings. It encourages one to grab the opportunity to start afresh with a clear heart and mind. It is a reminder that we are forgiven and that sometimes our best growth can come from our hardest moments.
