Once in a lifetime,
you get something to hold onto.
Is it true it always slips away?
Is it true you only get one chance?
I was given a choice,
to live in the open,
or stay put away.
I was treated like a rag doll,
now im treated like a queen.
Once in a lifetime,
your given an option.
Some come more often,
but they are always different and never the same.
Once in a lifetime,
you get a man to love,
dont let him walk away.
Once in a lifetime,
your given a chance.
Given a chance to start a new life.
