Our song "2nd Chance at Life" lyrics 

09-06-04

We are in the process of creating a song to help us inform parents of the National shortage of child organ donations and to help save children's lives.  These children and their parents are praying for their child to get the Gift of Life, an organ transplant.  The song is under construction, and we would appreciate any input you may want to offer.  Or, any new lyrics you would like to submit for a new song for the CD.

 

                 A

Somewhere tonight there’s a child with a need

           B                                                                          D

Somewhere nearby there’s a child…waiting desperately

                 A

For a gift of life

 

 

 

 

                  A

Somewhere nearby there’s a child that will leave

                 B                                                                D major

And only one thing can stop their flight to eternity

           A

To eternity

 

 

 

 

                                       G                   D         A

Waiting for a gift of life - A gift of life

                                    G                     D            A   

Praying for a chance at life - A chance at life

 

 

 

 

               A

Somewhere nearby there are parents deep in grief

                         B                                                      D

Over their child that is lying so silently

                       A

Lying silently

 

 

 

 

 

                           A                                       

For those who need this special gift we hold the power

                            B                                         

within our hearts

                               D                      

I know we can share

                                               A

The gift of life

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                       G              D              A

Waiting for a gift of life - A gift of life

                                    G                 D                A   

Praying for a chance at life - A chance at life

 

 

 

 

                           E major           C major

It’s not the end… it’s a new beginning

                                  E                                        C

Find joy through all the pain

                         E                             C

It’s not the end… it’s a new beginning

                                   E                                       C

Like sunshine after the rain

                                                         D                 

After the rain

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                 A

Somewhere nearby there’s a child that will leave

                B                                                                       D

And only one thing can stop their flight to eternity

             A

To eternity

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

         A

Now is the time to show a child that a new beginning is

                                              B                                                          

in reach

D

Through a loving deed

A

Through a loving deed

 

 

 

 

 

                           A                                      

For those who need this gift of life

                           B                                          

We hold the power within our lives

                                   D                  

Surely we can share with them

                 A

The gift of life

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                     

                                    G              D              A

Waiting for a gift of life - A gift of life

                                    G                 D                A   

Praying for a chance at life - A chance at life

 

 

 

 

                                       G           D                 A

Waiting for a gift of life - A gift of life

                                    G               D                  A   

Praying for a chance at life - A chance at life

 

 

 

 

                                       G            D                A

Waiting for a gift of life - A gift of life

                                    G              D                   A   

Praying for a chance at life - A chance at life

 

 

 

 

                                       G           D                 A

Waiting for a gift of life - A gift of life

                                    G             D                   A   

Praying for a chance at life - A chance at life

 

 

 

 

                            A

It’s not the end it's a new beginning

                            A

It’s not the end it's a new beginning

                            A

It’s not the end it's a new beginning
