Lyrics

I hung my hat on a wishing tree
I asked for one wish – I could’ve had three
But I only asked for what I needed
Could’ve asked for money, riches and wealth
But all I really wanted was to find myself
Unaccustomed as I was to seeking
And my heart whispered inside
And the moon rose and the angels sighed,
And they said:

Here comes your second chance
You’d better believe it
Open up and receive it
Here comes your second chance
Take a deep breath, this is your second chance

Make peace with your mother, your father too
Make peace with the stranger inside of you
And forgive yourself for the things you tried
And failed to do

Embrace your anger, your lust and your greed
That's how we drop the things that we don't need
Pick up a musical instrument
Or plan to seed

That was my heart, whispering inside
Welcome, he said, you're home and dry

And here comes your second chance
You’d better believe it
Open up and receive it
Here comes your second chance
Take a deep breath, this is your second chance

Well the years went by
And my wish came true
And I find myself, here with you 
I had to climb - climb a mountain
There's no way around it

And we all come and go like waves in the sea
Each with our own responsibility
Try to leave this world more beautiful - than we found it

That's your heart whispering inside
And you know your heart - it never lies

And here comes your second chance
you’d better believe it
Open up and receive it
Here comes your second chance
Take a deep breath, this is your second chance

This is your second chance.
