Verse 1
Emotions stored on mental shelving
Quickly get quite overwhelming

Forget about the past
Just move along
We're all caught up in the monetary

"It's not my fault, it's hereditary"
Excuses don't much matter
When all is said and done


Chorus
'Cause we all believe in second chances

Extenuating circumstances
Tomorrow's just another day to try
We all mess up we all fall down

But we can make it turn around
Just take a second, pause, and close your eyes
And breathe in, and breathe out


Verse 2
We look at all the pretty faces

Unlived dreams in far out places
We wonder why we didn't
Do all we could have done

But don't worry about the past behind us
Scars are left there to remind us
Not of all the failures

But the fights that we have won

Chorus


Bridge
I know, you know

That what we reap is what we sow
So let us plant a seed of hope inside
And I've seen, you've seen

Hopelessness give way to dreams
By changing the direction of our eyes


Chorus
