about

Take a Chance.

lyrics

Lately you've felt older
and your aching for much more.
You're working like a trooper.
and still the wolves are at your door.

Eager to impress them all
you gave the boss your best.
And then he laid you off like that
so you packed up for the West.

You hit the wall and were feeling low
and fell on the goodwill dime.
So you wrote some songs you prayed like hell
would not be just wasted time.

You pushed aside your essence
just to walk in others' shoes
But you're feeling so disconnected now
you've got nothing left to lose.

They never seemed to see you there
for who you know you are.
And in your gut you've always known
that you're a shining star.

You know you tried to make it work
as someone you know you're not.
Well now it's time to live your dreams
and show 'em all what you've got.

You've got to make your stand! )x2)

Now listen....
Grab your trusty six-string
Play it loud and play it true.
Your day job might not be much fun
but it does not reflect you.

Someone out there in the crowd
will see just who you are
And if you get booed off the stage
you're still a shining star.

Suits and ties never fit you right
or the raps to make a sale.
So answer that call deep inside
and my friend you will not fail.

You might never make a cent
but you won't die ashamed
Knowing you lived by your heart
that this hard world never tamed!

You've got to make your stand! (x2)
Grab your axe... and MAKE YOUR STAND!
