While You See A Chance Lyrics

Artist: Steve Winwood
Album: Arc Of A Diver

Stand up in a clear blue morning
until you see
what can be
Alone in a cold day dawning,
are you still free?
Can you be?

When some cold tomorrow finds you,
when some sad old dream reminds you
How the endless road unwinds you ?

While you see a chance take it,
find romance fake it
Because it's all on you

Don't you know by now no one gives you anything
Don't you wonder how you keep on moving
one more day your way
When there's no one left to leave you,
even you don't quite believe you
That's when nothing can deceive you

Stand up in a clear blue morning
until you see
what can be
Alone in a cold day dawning,
are you still free?
Can you be?

And that old gray wind is blowing
and there's nothing left worth knowing
And it's time you should be going

it is only dark if you do not believe in self enpowerment, and the acknoledgement that we (individuals) are the only ones who can guide ourselves to our destiny

I never understood this song when I first heard it when I was in college. It felt positive, but the lyrics sounded kind of cynical. I'm 47 now and it makes a lot more sense to me. The dreams you had when you were younger don't always come true, but you can still stand up on a beautiful morning and feel the same optimism you felt as a kid, and now you've got wisdom to go with it. You're not bound by your past, you can go forward if you are willing to seize the day and the opportunities.

Agree with all the above, it is a great little diddy about believing in oneself and looking ahead!
