Chance.
It’s truly amazing
It could mean the difference between life and death:
Marrying that girl, your eyes gazing
Or taking your last breath
You scream to yourself
What are the chances?
When you get 4 C’s in a row on a multiple guess exam
No, it cannot be right
But that’s what people get wrong about chance
We can never be sure
Whether we’re wrong in advance
And it can persuade and allure
Chance can make us cry and laugh
Lose or win
Marry or kill
Live or die
It’s a powerful idea
Of how everything we do is a probability
We’re taking risks every time
Might as well roll dice
But that’s not what keeps our drive
Keeps us motivated
But we have to learn to stop
Because chance is what can
Mean the difference
Between the good and the bad.
