Some people get up at the break of day
Gotta go to work before it gets too late
Sitting in a car and driving down the road
It ain't the way it has to beBut that's what you do to earn your daily wage
That's the kind of world that we live in today
But isn't where you wanna be
And isn't what you wanna beGive me one more day, one more day
Give me another night, just another night
I need a second chance, second chance
This time I'll get it right, this time I'll get it rightI'll say one last time, one last time
I've got to let you know I've got to let you know
I've got to change your mind, change your mind
I'll never let you goYou've got to look at life the way it oughta be
Looking at the stars from underneath the tree
There's a world inside and a world out there
With that TV you just don't careThey've got violence, wars and killing too
All shrunk down in a two-foot tube
But out there the world is a beautiful place
With mountains, lakes and the human race
And this is where I wanna be, and this is what I wanna doGive me one more day, one more day
Give me another night, just another night
I need a second chance, second chance
This time I'll get it right, this time I'll get it rightI'll say one last time, one last time
I've got to let you know, I've got to let you know
I've got to change your mind, change your mind
I'll never let you goJust give me one more chance, one more chance
Give me another night, just another night
With just one more day, one more day
Maybe we'll get it right, you know we'll get it rightI'll say one last time, one last time
I've got to let you know, I've got to let you know
If I could change your mind, change your mind
I'll never let you go
