Second Chance Lyrics - Singles - Mark Davenport

Lovingly 

She carried him 

With joyful sighs 

And soulful hymns 

Gentle songs for kicking limbs 

But he would never sing 

Too soon taken 

Upon soft angel's wings 

But she was given a second chance 

To embrace the circumstance 

And to conceive another child 

If you were the one to fill his place 

Would you remember him with grace? 

Would you wear his smile on your face? 

A parent's fear 

A somber din 

Crying voices 

Speed and gin 

Struck the car your son was in 

No one could have survived 

But kind blessings 

Rained down upon their lives 

And he was given a second chance 

To embrace the circumstance 

And to forgive the reckless one 

If you were the father in such strife 

How would you thank God for his life? 

How would you hold him by your side? 

Well I am the father of that lucky boy 

And I'm the younger brother of that stillborn child 

And I've been given a second chance 

Yeah a second chance 

O' Lord 

Loving and kind 

Filled with goodness 

The sweetest woman 

You'll ever find 

But fortune can sometimes be blind 

And even with our prayers 

Grief may rest upon us 

With too few spared 

But she was given a second chance 

To embrace the circumstance 

To laugh again and dance 

If she were your lover and your wife 

How would you thank God for her life? 

How would you share the rest of time? 

Well I am the father of that lucky boy 

And I'm the younger brother of that stillborn child 

I'm the husband of my darling one 

And I've been given a second chance 

Yeah a second chance 

O' Lord
