In 1992 I came down with the flu forgot to get my shot
misery loves company amidst a parting few intact
aroused from the flames a given chance to rearrange
we look to dig so deep a hero's peak complete the sheet

Life is full of surprises
captured in a dream
through a horrific scene
we seal our destiny

a chance encounter
for one to grow fonder
a certain place up yonder
if given a chance

to take a part in the dance
living on borrowed time
down to my last thin dime
consistent with the rhyme

it pays to be kind
today is here tomorrow has passed
a reason to grasp
