[Intro]

Am C F C

[Verse 1]

I think I’ll take a second chance

I won’t be passing by these waters again

Wanna feel redemption’s hand

And see this life only for what it is

I know the river’s not too wide

Had to see it for myself with my own eyes

Someone out there’s on my side

It’s not my place to question why

[Pre-Chorus]

Everybody needs time away

To wake up with the sun on their face

I’m not there yet but i know

[Chorus]
