The Chance Lyrics - Singles - Julie Roberts

I found a book that my mama kept 

Filled with secrets she hid 

And in a dusty old attic, one mornin' I read 

About a woman I never met 

Who had dreams just like mine 

With every page that I turned, her words came alive 

Wish I could roll out of town like a run-away train 

I'll do as I dare, let them call me insane 

Never sit on the sidelines of life, I'd dance every dance 

If I just had the chance 

A tear fell on that faded page 

'Cause this was somebody else 

Not the mama I knew who never thought of herself 

But the times, they were different then 

And lines just didn't get crossed 

And these words that she wrote, they somehow got lost 

Wish I could roll out of town like a run-away train 

I'll do as I dare, let them call me insane 

Never sit on the sidelines of life, I'd dance every dance 

If I just had the chance 

The chance that she never had 

Is now the gift that is mine 

And out here on this road, I'm makin' up for lost time 

I am my mother's child and tonight in this car 

I got her words in my suitcase 

And her dreams in my heart 

As I roll out of town like a run-away train 

I'll do as I dare, let them call me insane 

Never sit on the sidelines of life, I'll dance every dance 

While I still have the chance 

I'll never sit on the sidelines of life, I'll dance every dance 

While I still have the chance
