Second Chance
by Shinedown



Lyrics

My eyes are open wide
By the way I made it through the day
I watch the world outside
By the way I'm leaving out todayI just saw Haley's Comet, she waved
Said, "Why are you always running in place?"
Even the man in the moon disappeared
Somewhere in the stratosphere

Tell my mother, tell my father I've done the best I can
To make them realize this is my life, I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance

Please don't cry one tear for me
I'm not afraid of what I have to say
This is my one and only voice
So listen close, it's only for today

I just saw Haley's Comet, she waved
Said, "Why are you always running in place?"
Even the man in the moon disappeared
Somewhere in the stratosphere"

Tell my mother, tell my father I've done the best I can
To make them realize this is my life, I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance

Here is my chance
This is my chance

Tell my mother, tell my father I've done the best I can
To make them realize this is my life, I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance

Kris, Honey. When i saw you were doing this song i was like wait what? But then i saw that it was the acoustic version so i was like o this may be cool. It was not at all. You do not have the rock edge as much in your voice to pull it off as well as it sounded like you were tryign to heard to Scream the notes. This was not my favorite at all Sorry

[Randy Jackson]

I don't think it was bad, but it wasn't good, you know? It just didn't do it for me either way.

[Simon Cowell]

It wasnt hideous but it wasnt great either you have a lot of work ahead of you

[Kris Allen]

Well obviously I wouldn't have done it without as hard an edge as Shinedown. But I still feel the song is well within my vocal range and has a very fitting message for many of us as we start into our Second Chance on AI.
