Bob Oldfield - Second Chance

For all the times that I mess up
In my enthusiam
To try to do things my way;
In my pig-headedness
To think I know what's best;
In my determination
To prove that I am right.
Yes, for all those times that
I simply get it very wrong indeed,
When you should be giving me
A piece of your mind,
When you should be showing me
The door,
When you should be merciless
To this fallen mess of humanity
Instead... you give me
A second chance.

Phew!

Bob Oldfield
