if I had the chance

if I had the chance

I would do what I was meant to do

I'd shine my light the whole night through

if I had the chance

if the world went my way

I would accomplish all I have inside

I would take you for a ride

if the world went my way

          but the world doesn't go

          the way you want it to

          it doesn't revolve

          around you

          it balances on circumstance

          and it doesn't care

          if I ever get the chance

if I had the chance

I would do what I was born to do

I would play all night for you

if I had the chance

if good luck was mine

I would use it all the time

I would round up the reasons and rhymes

if good luck was mine

          but the world doesn't spin

          around your hopes and dreams

          it makes its say

          with other means

          it just becomes

          another dance

          if I ever get the chance
