    A 2nd Chance

     As a young man
    I often made
    decisions in haste

    Broke the law on occasion
    most of my time I wasted

    Drank things that were wrong
    and smoked things even worse

    and every other word
    out my my mouth was a curse

    But I have aged quite a bit
    and looked back on my days

    and I know for sure now
    that I have changed in my ways

    I have given up liquor
    and now do not smoke

    and the fires from my past
    are all but a smoke

    so I ask of you now
    do not judge me from then

    I am a better man because
    of the places I've been

    This world is song
    and I would like the last dance

    can a man who was once bad
    please get a 2nd chance.
