One Last Chance lyrics

I need another chance
I need one last chance
I�€™ve looked at myself
I don�€™t like what I see
I need another chance
To try to do it right
I can do it right
If I have the strength
If I keep my will
If I direct my body
I can do it right
I need another chance
Because I looked at myself
And I�€™m goin wrong
But I can do it right
You can show me how
Like you did before
When I really needed to do it right
I was in a fix before
I was really in trouble
It was sharp and quick
It took me by surprise
And you helped me then
It was a matter of time
But this time it�€™s different
It�€™s been a growing thing
It wasn�€™t sharp and quick
No no no no
It didn�€™t take me by surprise
It came along slow and soft
It crept and I saw it all along the way
It came on bit by bit
And I knew it all along
The only difference is now
It�€™s gone too far
It�€™s gone too far
It almost seems irreversible
I need another chance
I wanna do it right
Cause when I looked at myself
It was going all wrong
I�€™ve got to change my style
I�€™ve got to do something different
I�€™ve got to be in my world
I�€™ve got to see what I see
I�€™ve got to hear what I hear
I�€™ve got to move through time
With me on my mind
You can forget the rest
Because if I think about it I�€™m gonna lose myself
And it�€™ll be too late
Don�€™t let it be too late now
Don�€™t let it be too late now
I need another chance
Cause it�€™s gone too far
I hope it�€™s not irreversible
Let me stem the tide
Let me reverse this thing
Let me put my hand up and say �€œStop�€
Even �€œTurn around, go back where you came�€
Give me another chance
Because I can do it right
I can do it right
I�€™ve got to do it right
Because if I don�€™t I�€™m gone
I�€™m real gone
And I don�€™t want to lose
All of my control
I wanna be the driver
The one ridin�€™ in the trunk
With the rope around my feet and my hand
And a gag in my mouth
Don�€™t wanna be kidnapped by
What? Who? Where?
I wanna move through time
With me on my mind
I wanna be the driver
I wanna say to my selves,
�€œMove like you should, assemble yourselves
and do right for this body, this mind,
this soul, this spirit, this being�€
I wanna live right
I wanna live so right
I don�€™t wanna go wrong
And I see myself goin wrong
So I�€™ve got to stop
I�€™ve got to summon my powers
I�€™ve got to drop off all the dead and dying
I got to cauterize my wounds
I got to stem the tide of the bad
I got to say
�€œStop, turn around
Go back to from where you came�€
I wanna be right, you bad go back
Go back to from where you came
Bad bad, go back, bad bad, go back
I wanna be right
I wanna be right
I wanna control my body my soul my mind my spirit
I wanna be in charge
I wanna say it�€™s like this
I wanna say it�€™s like that
I don�€™t wanna be told
Don�€™t wanna be told
�€œYou gotta be like that
You gotta be like this�€
Cause it don�€™t help none
I know why I know where I know how
I know when I wanna be
I know what I wanna be
I know how I wanna be
I know when I wanna be
I know where I wanna be
I wanna be right in my own mind
If I can�€™t be right
I�€™m gonna be gone
I don�€™t wanna be gone
I just wanna be, me, here, now
Give me another chance
Give one more chance
And let me do right
Once and for all
All time eternally
I wanna be right eternally
I don�€™t have to be alone
I can be alone
I don�€™t have to be alone
But I can be alone
But I don�€™t have to be alone
It doesn�€™t matter
Right is right
It comes from outside, not from the outside
I wanna be right from the inside out
I want you to see
I want them to see
I want to be right for everyone to see
I wanna be right
For me, for you, for them, for the elements
For space, for time
Please give me another chance
Don�€™t let it be gone
Don�€™t it be the end of being right
I saw myself right
I let it go, give it back
Give me another chance, give it back
I let it go, give it back
Give me another chance
I wanna live right
I wanna live right
I wanna be in charge of my life
My death, my eternity
I wanna be right
And I�€™ll do anything
I gotta summon my powers
I gotta be myself
I gotta have my will
I gotta be myself
I gotta get my strength
I gotta conquer these foes
I gotta beat up on bad
I gotta elevate the good
It�€™s so easy to see
Bad and good, I can see
I can see what�€™s bad and good
I can look I can tell I can judge
I can point my finger
And say �€œThat�€™s bad, that�€™s good�€
And deep inside I know
I can�€™t be wrong
If I�€™m right, give me another chance
I wanna be right
I wanna be right
I wanna be right
Give me another chance
Give me another chance
Give me another chance
Cause I looked at myself
And I saw bad
I looked at myself and I said
�€œOh, is it too late?�€
Is it too late?
Oh, please don�€™t let it be too late
Don�€™t let it be too late
Help me reverse this trend
Help me stem this tide
Help me put my hand down and say
�€œStop, turn around,
Go back to from where you came�€
Let me take the good
Let me put it in myself
Let me digest the good
Let me emanate the good
Let me be in control
Don�€™t let this sickness take me over
Don�€™t let these things get me down
Don�€™t let these things take effect
Don�€™t let em change me
And I don�€™t mind if I change
But let it be good
Let me change to the good
Every time I change
Every second I move
Every time
I turn around
Kill the bad, kill em
Kill the bad
Kill the bad
Generate the good in me
Kill the bad things I got inside me
Let them die
They don�€™t deserve, let em die
Just kill em
It ain�€™t like killin�€™ no
It�€™s annihilation, extermination,
Elimination elimination
Eliminate the bad
Cast the bad
Eliminate the bad
I want to be good
I wanna be right
There�€™s only one judge of that
I know I wanna be right
I gotta see myself right
I got to see myself
If I�€™m not right, why not?
Cause I did bad
Yeah, I did bad
And I�€™ll tell you this
Bad is different for everyone that is different
And that�€™s everyone and everything
So your bad�€™s not my bad
But I got bad and you bad
Unless I don�€™t know you like I know me
But I know me, and I got bad, and I got wrong
And I don�€™t like it
And I want to eliminate it
I want it gone before I�€™m gone
I want bad to be gone before I�€™m gone
I don�€™t want to be gone
I want bad to be gone so I can be
I don�€™t be right
I wanna be right
Give me another chance
Give me another chance
I won�€™t let you down, not this time
Three strikes and you�€™re out
And I had one
And I hit a home run
But I stopped after first base
And hey, they,
They pushed me, they
They pushed and pulled
But they couldn�€™t pull me any farther than that
Must of been fear
I think it was fear
Cause I had it made
I had the whole home run
But I missed it
Second time up
I hardly even swung
I didn�€™t even try
I quit trying
I knew what I should be doin
Every once in a while
I�€™d touch my little toe in the water
But I never did jump in
I never did dive in to that water
And that�€™s what I know I gotta do now
Cause if I don�€™t do it now I�€™m gone
Because wrong is at the point
It�€™s at the point of smothering me
Smoldering me, drowning me,
Putting me out
And I need to burn my flame
I need to ignite
I need to spark
I need to beam
I need to shine my light
Give me another chance to shine my light
I don�€™t want to go down
I don�€™t have to go down
Not if I got some will
And I got some power
And I got some strength
And I got some control
And I�€™m the driver
And I�€™m in charge
I can do it
I can do it
Hey, I got to do it
If I don�€™t do it, I�€™m done
It�€™s either do or be done
I�€™m not over yet
I�€™m not over
I�€™m never gonna be over
I�€™m never gonna end
I shall not end
I�€™m not gonna be gone
I�€™m gonna be forever
Eternally I shall be
And I�€™m not saying
That I always was
I�€™m saying I shall always be
And I make this decision now
I shall be
I want to do right
And there is no eye in this universe
That can tell me
What right is, because I know what right is
And I know what wrong is
By this time I know
Give me another chance
Give me another chance
I surely need your help
I surely need your help
To conquer death
To conquer evil
To conquer bad
I wanna be in charge
I wanna control my destiny
I wanna live up to my standards
I know it can be done
It came sharp and quick
And you helped me
And I conquered all
Now it�€™s come slow and soft
And I need your help
For the last time
Cause if it�€™s not this time
I believe it�€™s never
And I can�€™t face that
I don�€™t have to face that
I demand your assistance
It only takes one word
And that word is yes
Give me your yes
And I�€™ll give you mine
I gave you mine
I forgot it, and I�€™m sorry
But you hit me hard
