Second Chance - Shinedown (lyrics) Just so everyone knows, this is Mr. Nick Perri on the lead guitar Barry Kerch is right back there My name is Brent Smith Once again, thank you very much for being here The next song that we\u0027re gonna do, um Was at a place and a point in my life where I had put up enough walls around myself About the subject of talking about my mother and my father and my upbringing The reality is that this is song came from The frustration of not being able to get these emotions out Through years of, of growing up with them I love them dearly, but this was a song A statement to them as to why I left home when I did And now doing what I dreamed about doing since I was born This song is called Second Chance My eyes are open wide By the way, I made it through the day And I watch the world outside By the way, I\u0027m leaving out today \u0027Cause I just saw Halley\u0027s Comet, she waved And said, \u0022Why you always running in place?\u0022 \u0027Cause even the man in the moon disappeared Somewhere in the stratosphere So, tell my mother, tell my father that I\u0027ve done the best I can To make them realize this is my life, and I hope they understand That I\u0027m not angry, I\u0027m just saying That sometimes goodbye is a second chance Please don\u0027t cry one tear for me I\u0027m not afraid of what I have to say \u0027Cause this is my one and only voice So listen close, it\u0027s only for today Well, I just saw Halley\u0027s Comet, she waved Said, \u0022Why you always running in place?\u0022 \u0027Cause even the man in the moon disappeared Somewhere in that stratosphere So, tell my mother, tell my father that I\u0027ve done the best I can To make them realize this is my life, and I hope they understand That I\u0027m not angry, I\u0027m just saying That sometimes goodbye is a second chance \u0027Cause here is my chance This is my chance So, tell my mother, tell my father, I\u0027ve done the best I can To make them realize this is my life, and I hope they understand That I\u0027m not angry, and I\u0027m just saying That sometimes goodbye is a second chance That sometimes goodbye is a second chance That sometimes goodbye is a second chance Thank you
