Peter, Paul & Mary - Take The Chance lyrics

There's a little girl playing in the garden She thinks that she's alone and no one sees But the beauty of it all As the daisy petals fall Is the wish she's made that's whispered in the breeze There's the wish in the breeze Chorus: Won't you take the chance And let your tears start falling And ignore the fearful warning of your mind Let your heart for once do all the talking And believe that you deserve for the sun to shine Believe that you deserve for the sun to shine There's an old woman sitting in the doorway And she greets the people each one as they pa** Sometimes they hover 'round her for her wisdom Sometimes so she'll remind them how to laugh They know that she'll remind them how to laugh Chorus Now on a hill there stands a cross above a graveyard And the simple word carved in it says "forgive" No war or k**ing anger can match the force it carries It can heal the generations so that other ones can live It can heal us, so we can live Chorus Now there's a moment between forward and retreating When you're just not sure which path you ought to choose Then the sun shines brightly on the golden meadow And suddenly, you're not at all confused Suddenly, you're not confused That's when you take the chance And let your tears start falling And ignore the fearful warnings of your mind And you let your heart for once do all the talking And believe that you deserve for the sun to shine You always did deserve for the sun to shine I love you, and i want the sun to shine.
