Everyone Deserves a Second Chance

It only takes a second, one word we didn't mean to say A flash of sudden anger and the moment slips away We never planned the silence that followed us for years A careless line or raised voice can cost us more than tears We all have those chapters we wish we could rewrite Moments we can't take back, no matter how we try Everyone deserves a second chance A chance to make it right, to mend what's been left broken To step back into the light We all fall short, we all get lost We all say things we can't erase But everyone deserves a second chance to find a better place It might be family around a table where one chair's left alone Or two old friends who stopped talking over something set in stone A door can stay closed longer than anyone intended And pride can keep us standing on opposite ends We all have those chapters we wish we could rewrite Moments we can't take back, no matter how we try Everyone deserves a second chance A chance to make it right, to mend what's been left broken To step back into the light We all fall short, we all get lost We all say things we can't erase But everyone deserves a second chance to find a better place Not every wound will close the same Not every voice will call us back But holding on to endless blame can chain us to the past If there's still a breath and still a heart That's willing to begin Then maybe we can start again and let the light back in Everyone deserves a second chance A chance to make it right, to mend what's been left broken To step back into the light We all fall short, we all get lost We all say things we can't erase But everyone deserves a second chance to find a better place Everyone deserves a second chance To find a better place
