Peter, Paul & Mary - Take The Chance Lyrics
Theres a little girl playing in the gardenShe thinks that shes alone and no one seesBut the beauty of it allAs the daisy petals fallIs the wish shes made thats whispered in the breezeTheres the wish in the breezeChorus:Wont you take the chanceAnd let your tears start fallingAnd ignore the fearful warning of your mindLet your heart for once do all the talkingAnd believe that you deserve for the sun to shineBelieve that you deserve for the sun to shineTheres an old woman sitting in the doorwayAnd she greets the people each one as they passSometimes they hover round her for her wisdomSometimes so shell remind them how to laughThey know that shell remind them how to laughChorusNow on a hill there stands a cross above a graveyardAnd the simple word carved in it says forgiveNo war or killing anger can match the force it carriesIt can heal the generations so that other ones can liveIt can heal us, so we can liveChorusNow theres a moment between forward and retreatingWhen youre just not sure which path you ought to chooseThen the sun shines brightly on the golden meadowAnd suddenly, youre not at all confusedSuddenly, youre not confusedThats when you take the chanceAnd let your tears start fallingAnd ignore the fearful warnings of your mindAnd you let your heart for once do all the talkingAnd believe that you deserve for the sun to shineYou always did deserve for the sun to shineI love you, and I want the sun to shine.
