Second Chances
Marlene Brehm Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Break free from the doubts we've had before
And let go we don't need them anymore
We can't give into this tug of war

Exposed with a heart thats open wide
These eyes let you see the soul inside
We're afraid but we walk ahead of fear
Cause I know
We can make it
Gonna make it

Its not too late
We can believe in second chances
Start today
Realize its a new beginning

So Right Now say goodbye to yesterday
And let love lead our hearts away
It's not too late
For us tonight

Greater is the life that takes a stand
For those who cannot fight with their own hands
Its a silent war that we can't ignore

We must choose to find Mercy in this place
And Reach out find the freedom from the chains
If you Come with me, we can make a change

Cause I know
We can make it
Gonna make it

Its not too late
We can believe in second chances
Start today
Realize its a new beginning

So Right Now say goodbye to yesterday
And let love lead our hearts away
It's not too late
For us tonight





So put your hand in mine
We can start over this time
