Take The Chance Lyrics - Peter, Paul & Mary

There's a little girl playing in the garden 

She thinks that she's alone and no one sees 

But the beauty of it all as the daisy petals fall 

Is the wish she's made that's whispered in the breeze 

There's the wish in the breeze 

Won't you take the chance and let your tears start falling 

Ignore the fearful warnings of your mind 

Let your heart for once do all the talking 

And believe that you deserve for the sun to shine 

Believe that you deserve for the sun to shine 

There's an old woman sitting in the doorway 

She greets the people, each one as they pass 

Sometimes they hover 'round her for her wisdom 

Sometimes so she'll remind them how to laugh 

They know that she'll remind them how to laugh 

So won't you take the chance and let your tears start falling 

Ignore the fearful warnings of your mind 

Let your heart for once do all the talking 

And believe that you deserve for the sun to shine 

Believe that you deserve for the sun to shine 

Now on a hill there stands a cross above a graveyard 

And the simple word carved in it says 'forgive' 

No war or killing anger can match the force it carries 

It can heal the generations so that other ones can live 

It can heal us, so we can live 

So won't you take the chance and let your tears start falling 

Ignore the fearful warnings of your mind 

Let your heart for once do all the talking 

And believe that you deserve for the sun to shine 

Believe that you deserve for the sun to shine 

Now there's a moment between forward and retreating 

When you're just not sure which path you ought to choose 

Then the sun shines brightly on the golden meadow 

And suddenly, you're not at all confused 

Suddenly, you're not confused 

That's when you take the chance and let your tears start falling 

And ignore the fearful warnings of your mind 

And you let your heart for once do all the talking 

And believe that you deserve for the sun to shine 

You always did deserve for the sun to shine 

I love you, and I want the sun to shine 

I love you, and I want the sun to shine
