Chances Are
Chances are if we'd meet again,
You won't know who I am,
Though you might remember the smile
Or you might recall the walk,
But chances are, you will not.
And if we did meet on the road again,
Would you smile and call my name
Or would you forget who I was,
Because now, we are not the same.
Chances are, you would walk away,
And you would forget what you saw
Even though you knew me then,
But now my face, you couldn't recall.
And if we were in trouble in the sea of life,
Would you be there to toss me a line
I know I'd be there if but for you,
But alas, that was a different time.
And chances are, if we were alone
You would then smile and talk to me,
You would be my friend, and remember again,
But chances are; that will never be.
Chances are, that I will never change
And that I will stay the way I am,
And you will stay the way, that you must be,
But I don't care, in this world of man.
I will act the way that I want to act
And I will do the things that I must do,
And I am not ashamed of anything or anyone,
But chances are, the hypocrite is you.
And as life is full of chances of her own,
She has her own steps and stairs,
And could I see you on your way down,
Chances are, I will be there.

Takin Chances
Lestley r. pierce & frankie blue
I like walkin in the park late at night
Tryin to run my motor down
Everybody says I live a dangerous life
Ive got to get ahead somehow
Out here on the street just tryin to get my own
Dont tell me what you think you know
Ooh, most people spend their time at home alone
Just waitin for a check that wont show
Chorus:
Takin chances
No risk, no gain
Takin chances
I really dont mind the pain
Takin chances
If you only knew
Takin chances
Its all for the love of you
I dont like to listen to what people say (uh-huh)
Cause once you start youll never stop
One advantage to doing things my own way
Ill always end up on top
Chorus
Bridge:
Ive got to do it right, ooh Ive got to
Ive got to live my life the way I want to
Im high up on a wire, dont wanna ever come down
And if I fall Ive got to fly
Chorus

Hows Chances?
When I want to see the boys
I know where to find the boys
I dont go through a club or two
I just find you and there are the boys
To get you alone I strive
You ask me to tea at five
I find you then with other men
And wonder when my chance will arrive
Hows chances, say, how are the chances
Of making you love me the way I love you
How many young men must I fight with
To be in right with
In right with you
Hows chances for one of those glances
A glimpse of the heaven Im longing to see
Hows chances to end all your romances
And start taking your chances with me
[alternate bridge:]
My castle will need some restoring
Ceiling and flooring
Furniture, too

Wall Of Death
Richard Thompson)
Let me ride on the wall of death one more time
Let me ride on the wall of death one more time
You can waste your time on the other rides
but this is the nearest to being alive
Let me take my chances on the Wall of Death
You can go with the crazy people in the crooked house
You can fly away on the rocket or spin in the mouse
The tunnel of love might amuse you
And Noah's Ark might confuse you but
Let me take my chances on the Wall of Death
On the Wall of Death
All the World is far from me
On the Wall of Death
It's the nearest to being free
Well you're going nowhere when you ride on the carousel
And maybe you're strong, but what's the use of ringing a bell
The switchback will make you crazy
Beware of the bearded lady
Oh let me take my chances on the Wall of Death
You are going nowhere when you ride on the carousel
And maybe you're strong, but what's the use of ringing a bell
The switchback will make you crazy
Beware of the bearded lady
Let me take my chances
Let me take my chances
Let me take my chances

Chances
(graham russell)
Theres a chance you will be there
Id like to know the truth
Ill find it out somehow
The chances arent too strong
A chance you will be there
Please be there alone
Help me speak of love
Chances arent enough
Ones too good to miss
Chances arent too strong
A chance is all there is
Theres a chance you will be there
Wondring what to do
How to play my role
Ill leave it up to you
If I disguise my smile
It gives too much away
And what if we cant speak
What then shall I say
Dont you be too long
Something has gone wrong
The chances are all gone

Outlaw
(coverdale/lord/marsden)
When I left my home
I was not much more than a child,
My mother started crying
She knew that I was born to be wild
cos I was looking for the bright lights of the big city,
A red hot town where the girls are pretty
I took to the highway,
Chasing my dream down the line
Heading out for trouble,
Never finding my peace of mind
cos I been run out of town so many times before
An usually kind of places where I cant go back no more
Outlaw - born outside of the law,
Just another outlaw,
Man on the run will always take chances for fun
I never find it easy trying to keep the feeling alive,
Ive always been a dreamer,
Dreamers find it hard to survive
When theyre living in the bright lights of the big city,
A red hot town where the girls are pretty
Outlaw - born outside of the law,
Just another outlaw,
Man on the run will always take chances for fun
Outlaw - born outside of the law,
Just another outlaw,
Man on the run will always take chances for fun
Outlaw - born outside of the law,
Just another outlaw,
Man on the run will always take chances for fun
Born outside of the law,
Just another outlaw,
Man on the run will always take chances for fun
Outlaw, outlaw,
Man on the run will always take chances for fun

Chances
Some chances are risky!
Some taken have no reward.
Chances risky and unrewarded...
Must be taken.
Taking a chance and failing
Still gains an experience.
Promising to take a chance...
And breaking that promise,
Will always be remembered.
That's why it is best not to take chances,
If you are the kind to break a promise!
Adventures will never find you pleased,
Or at ease...
Whatever the outcome!

Second Chances
(Sanger D. Schafer/Tommy Collins)
Man don't you know
This woman you want and crave
Is the queen of my kingdom
When she walks through the garden
Roses drop pedals
To cushion the foot steps she takes
I know she once loved you
And I know you still lover her
But you carlessly asked for your freedom
I can see how it hurts you
But it's too late
You made your mistakes
Man you know second chances these days
Are so hard to come by
I love that lady
So you best forget
Ever gettin' her back cause she's mine
Man you know I had somebody else once
And she just gave me one try
And second chances these days
Are so hard to come by
Man you know second chances these days
Are so hard to come by
I love that lady
So you best forget
Ever gettin' her back cause she's mine
Man you know I had somebody else once
And she just gave me one try
And second chances these days
Are so hard to come by
And second chances these days
Are so hard to come by

I Don't Have The Map
When it happens
Youll feel like an islander
Youll see ships and theyll be reminders
That youre on an island
Im on an island
The chances are theres a reason weve been left here
But Im not disappointed
The chances are theres a reason weve been left
The chances are, the chances are
You cant contact, you cant contact
You cant cope without the contact
As it happens
Theres a city in sight
Youre getting confused by local lamplight
By local lamplight
Dont buy local lamplights
The chances are theres a reason weve been left here
But Im not disappointed
The chances are theres a reason weve been left here
The chances are, the chances are
You cant contact, you cant contact
You cant cope without the contact
But what a situation to be in
You and me are keeping in time with my ideas
Keeping in time with my ideas
You cant stop keeping in time
You cant contact, you cant contact
You cant cope without the contact

Harmless outlets
Where gossips prevail in abundance,
The chances for fighting are the least.
Where mixing and partying are rampant,
The chances for molesting are the least.

Chances Are
Chances are you'll find me
Somewhere on your road tonight,
Seems I always end up drivin' by,
Ever since I've known you
It just seems you're on my way,
All the rules of logic don't apply
I long to see you in the night,
Be with you till morning light...
I remember clearly
How you looked the night we met,
I recall your laughter and your smile,
I remember how you made me
Feel so at ease,
I remember your grace, your style...
And now your all I long to see,
You've come to mean so much to me...
Chances are I'll see you,
Somewhere in my dreams tonight.
You'll be smilin' like the night we met,
Chances are I'll hold you,
And I'll offer all I have
You're the only one I can't forget,
Baby your the best I've ever met...
And I'll be dreamin' of the future,
And hopin' you'll be by my side
And in the morning I'll be longing,
For the night...
For the night...
Chances are I'll see you,
Somewhere in my dreams tonight...
You'll be smilin' like the night we met...
Chances are I'll hold you,
And I'll offer all I have,
You're the only one I can't forget...
Baby your the best I've ever met.

In Old Age/ There Are Few Second Chances
IN OLD AGE/ THERE ARE FEW SECOND CHANCES
In old age
There are few second chances-
I seem to have one now-
Will I have the courage and good sense
To correct my work
As I have rarely been able to do before?
Or will I go to my grave
Leaving only typo- filled pages behind?

Summer Chance
The chances of summer are of chance,
When you take a chance,
Chances will bring,
The good,
The bad,
The indifference,
The outcome,
For taking a chance,
Is what is left,
Then is left to per chance,
Yet,
Summer time,
Brings all kinds of chances,
Summer romances,
Summer time ventures,
All in all it is a time,
For taking the time,
To just relax,
And simply just,
Let things happen,
Oh what it would be,
If, we all took a chance,
On love for love sake,
Leaving to per chance?
So summer songs,
Would ring with chimes,
When summer's love,
Would then last all year long,
What too could happen,
If,
We all took that chance,
Just to see,
What would happen,
To simply be,
A wild card,
Let loose,
To take a wild chance,
And let per chance,
Take its course,
In summer chances,
Of summer romances,
For to let a pattern to evolve,
That brings about that summer outcome,
Of a summer in per chance,
That has,
No arrangements,
Appointments set,
An agenda to be met,
Or,
A poise or position in life,
That one must be of,
Or,
Have to make that grade,
For summer chance,
And taking that chance,
Will bring you to a better place,
A fresh begining,
Or,
New places and people,
Or a summer's love,
To last all year long,
Is,
To believe in,
Per chance,
Of Summer's chance,
That then begins,
A short story of life,
That leads to the book,
Of two people in love,
From what took a chance,
With a summer romance,
That lead to their book,
A book of life,
From summer chance,
Of meeting per chance?

Second Chance
Sometimes you never get a second chance
at anything you do.
If one day you do, embrace it
and never let it slip through your fingers
or it will never come to you again.
Now this is my story of the two second chances that I got
and how I embraced them without regret.
The story begins half a century ago when I was a teenager.
I was a very shy boy
and my friends were very few,
especially where the girls were concerned.
No friendships grew there
and all too soon they were gone
without me ever saying a word to them
as I left and set sail for a far distant shore.
Their faces remained with me
through the years in photographs.
The years slipped by so quickly
from teenager to adult hood,
but still those photographs
kept the past alive to me.
Always hoping one day,
I would be able to see them over again.
More years slipped by
and the chances of that happening
became just as remote as could be,
or so I thought.
Then on the 15 December 2006,
I had an internal message on classmates.com
and that is where the first of my two second chances began.
The second came shortly afterwards
when this classmate introduced me to her friend,
whose encouraging words made me take
the second of my second chances
and on the 19th January 2007 I lifted my pen to paper
after six or seven years
and never looked back since then.
Since that date, I have written
one thousand four hundred and twenty eight poems,
a novel and published my first book.
All because of the second chances, I got.
If you are given a second chance
at anything at all,
grasp them with all your might,
never letting them go
because you will probably never get them again.
