Second Chance

by YoungSaint   Sep 4, 2005


My life is cut to pieces...
So I run to grab a knife...
There is no turning back now...
I am soon to end my life...

Now my life has ended...
And I stand at heavens gate...
Saint Peter sits there with a notepad...
And asked why I chose this fate...

He said this was not the choice to make...
You strayed from the good lords plan
If you could have your time again...
Would you be a different man?

I looked and him frightfully...
And said why yes of course...
So he said this is your last chance..
And sent me back with force...

He sent me back to where I was...
Standing with that knife...
I look at my reflection, in the blade...
And decide I value life

Why did she have leave me?...
Its made my life a hell
Its hurt me in ways youd never know...
So this is the story I tell ...

I tried to take my life that night...
But I was sent back you see
And it was not very long at all...
Till she came running back to me...

She said she could not live with out me...
It hurt to be apart
She said I was her one true love...
Since the very start...

Every time I look at her
I cant help but smile
4 years soon did pass...
then were walking down the aisle...

So I thank the lord for this second chance...
Im glad I droped that knife
Because now I have a baby girl...
And a beautiful wife...

Now all this could not have come about...
With out the second chance that day...
Please no its not an easy way out...
Suicide is not the way ...
