Story Behind The Song

My sister passed away and she was not very old. I was thinking about it and I felt the urge to write a song about taking the chances that I have often let pass by for some reason or another.

Song Description

Life goes by quickly, and when it ends nobody knows. You gotta grab your chances when they come. This song is about that. The music is a natural pop melody that flows with the lyrics. Not too much conscious thought was involved.

Lyrics

Take a chance
Take it now
You may never have this moment
Somethings only come around
Once in a lifetime
There's no why or how
Take a chance
Take it now
You may never have this moment again
You may never have this moment
Never have this moment again

Days...
Endless days of trying to find ways
To make our dreams come true
Nights...
Staring out at all the city lights
And wondering what to do

Why should it be so frustrating?
All this hurrying then waiting
I don't know if I can take it anymore
And I'm so scared of all this stuff
What if I'm not good enough?

Take a chance
Take it now
You may never have this moment
Somethings only come around
Once in a lifetime
There's no why or how
Take a chance
Take it now
You may never have this moment again
You may never have this moment
Never have this moment again

Years...
Years go by and all we have are tears
For what we didn't give
Why were we always so afraid to try?
and so afraid to live...

Why should it be so frustrating?
All this hurrying then waiting
I don't know if I can take it anymore
And I'm so scared of all this stuff
What if I'm not good enough?

Take a chance
Take it now
You may never have this moment
Somethings only come around
Once in a lifetime
There's no why or how
Take a chance
Take it now
You may never have this moment again
You may never have this moment
Never have this moment again

Take the chance
Don't miss out on this moment
'Cause it belongs to you
