Said goodbye to my friend
Gave a hello to my wife
We’re all given another chance
Take it and don’t lose it
Even the worst people
Deserve a little redemption
We’re all given another chance
You better take it and make it last
Finishing the song, I look up, not having realized that my eyes closed while singing. My zone, my world when I sing, is so much better than reality. The crowd all have their cell phones out, lit, and over their heads, swaying with the music. This is the first time that it’s really sunk in. I made it. The road to fame was paved with self-destruction, but I made it in one piece.
