Chances

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Ten years to build a dream, one match to burn it
A lesson taught quickly but lifetimes to learn it
Success has no guarantee, fame has its price
Dreams are destroyed with one roll of the dice.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 The chances you get will not always be sweet
Crosses don’t often come straight to your feet
A point if you take this chance, none if you spurn it
Blood, sweat and tears for this, one match to burn it.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 The line between triumph and failure is thin
So unpredictable – it draws us all in
Why do we gamble success when we earn it?
One shot for glory or one match to burn it.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 A game must have losers, we never know who
But through any defeat, still our love remains true
Cos we know that in football, one moment can turn it
A lifetime to live this dream, one match to burn it.
