Do we deserve a second chance How did we fall into this circumstance We weren't so straight and narrow This is much more than we deserve A higher voice has called the tune Two hearts that lost the beat will now resume The gift of life extension By divine intervention It's gotta be a strange twist of fate Telling me that Heaven can wait Telling me to get it right this time Life doesn't mean a thing Without the love you bring Love is what we've found The second time around Don't understand what's going on Woke up this morning all the hurt was gone This is a new beginning I'm back in the land of the living It's gotta be a strange twist of fate Telling me that Heaven can wait Telling me to get it right this time Life doesn't mean a thing Without the love you bring Love is what we've found The second time around
