Chance
She loves the soundtrack to Les Mis'
and she can hit all the notes.
The other driver at the light
is starting to stare
She just tapps her fingers on the wheel
and cues up the orchestra
'cause even though she has no audience to hear
She'll sing the whole show for herself
It clears her mind, frees her soul
if you don't try, you'll never know
He plays the softball leage for keeps
because in his world, all the games count
He lays it all out when he slides
never stops at one base
swings for the fences every time
Even though he's on the losing side tonight
he knows he left it one the field
It clears his mind, frees his soul
if you don't try, you'll never know
We all need to find a place where
Life's a little fun
So carve a little space out
and let your mind run
'Cause even though your daydreams
will not last all day
you only need the light they leave
To clear your mind, free your soul
if you don't try, you'll never know
