chance - Ken Block

I never knew how much I’d come to love you

I couldn’t know how much I’d come to love you

I had no idea if I’d disappear from fear

Of the greatest gift I almost faded away

I had no idea how much I’d come to need you

I had no idea how much I’d burn when I can’t see you

I had no idea if I’d disappear from fear

Of the greatest gift who’s ever taken to me

But you pierced my heart in June

Turned and hung the moon

In a while, child

I was wrapped around your finger

Chance, what are the chances

That you would look down from the sky

And choose me to be your own?

And chance, what are the chances

That you would sacrifice your wings

To become flesh and bone for me?

I can’t believe I called it love before you

And I think I even thought I could ignore you

I had no idea if I’d disappear from fear

Those days were cold and I almost faded away

But you changed the way I breathe

And rearrange of needs

To the world you might be one

But to me you are the world

And chance, what are the chances

That you would look down from the sky

And choose me to be your own?

And chance, what are the chances

That you would sacrifice your wings

To become flesh and bone for me?

We’re all searching for the things that make us matter

We’re all hungry in our needing to be whole

Then we find the only thing that really matters

Are the people in our lives whose hearts we hold

And chance, what are the chances

That you would look down from the sky

And claim me to be your own?

And chance, what are the chances

That you would sacrifice your wings

To become flesh and bone for me?
