The Second Calling -

What would you do

If you had one more day

To make things fine

To make them okay

A second chance to fix your life

To not throw the dice

For thinking twice

Not enter that car

Your home wasn’t far

You had someone there

But you filled your emptiness in a bar

So would you have said you loved her that night

Held on to your children

Spoken your last goodbyes

Just one more day

To say what’s inside

For mending the mess that you left behind

I’ve been so wrong and all the while I felt so right

The many things you learn when your beloved one cry

No room for lies if you’re to live your life in time

I was too selfish to see that I dug my own gave

Shunning the ones who loved me

My choices led me to my end

And the words I spoke couldn’t be unsaid

The ones I hurt couldn’t heal through my fame

Conquer everyone, anywhere

Such a pleasant man pretending to care

I denied my beliefs to believe in only myself

I’ve been so wrong and all the while I felt so right

The many things you learn when your beloved one cry

No room for lies if you’re to live your life in time

I used to have beautiful dreams on my darkest days

And look her in the eyes and smile

We all have to pay our debts somehow

Better late than now

I’ve been so wrong and all the while I felt so right

The many things you learn when your beloved one cry

No room for lies if you’re to live your life in time

How many chances does a man have to redeem himself

So many I let get away

I blew them all to well

But I’m still here to face my demons or to suffer for my sins

When the sun is on your back

To turn around and face the light isn’t an easy task

Inside it fells like something’s urging

Time to come back or keep moving on

Suddenly the answers seen to be gone

No need for answers when the questions are wrong

If I open my eyes and get back to me

For this one last time all I want is to see

My beautiful wife smiling down at me

Saying «you're here today, make it count, live your stay»

Oh if I had one more day
