A SINGLE CHANCE?

The target was set...
The goal was clear...
But the aim went wrong...

Trials and errors...
That's how we learn to grow in life...
But what if there's only a single chance?

The thought was thought...
The intention was pure...
But the words went wrong...

Mistakes and goof-ups...
That's how we learn to improve in life...
But what if there's only a single chance?

He played by the rules...
He set a perfect plan...
But the outcome went wrong...

How do I tell him?
That’s how it sometimes is in life...
But what if he had only a single chance?

Sometimes what we wish for
And what we really get...
The people we want to know
And the ones we’ve met...
Are not really the same...

And there in lies the irony of it all...
Trying to catch something too big,
With something too small...
