Take A Chance
Coming out of seclusion because of the Covid pandemic and now facing world challenges in the environment and war in Europe is a daunting passage for us all. I'm optimistic in spite of all these challenges. I had a great time working with my daughter on this production. Hope you like it.
Creative, original, and entertaining!
I can feel your passion and your daughters animation work and illustration work is excellent. Props to Kate. Perhaps she will design your album cover artwork? And, from what I can hear there’s some very interesting and creative lyrics within so I’d like to suggest that if possible you post the lyrics please. Just be aware that currently for whatever reason pasted text from a text doc will not sadly format so you will have your lyrics in a long paragraph but regardless of this current technical element in the comment boxes I’d still appreciate site of the lyrics to truly get a feel for the song.
Lyrics
Take A Chance
Words, Music Gerry Segal © 2021
Verse 1
Take A Chance, Take A Chance
Wake up from a trance
Step outside, be a guide to circumstance
Reach out and don’t hide
Take the side of friendship and love
Verse 2
Take the time take the time
Till you realize
Life is filled with surprise and some compromise
We’ve been so far apart
It’s time to restart the road to love
Chorus
Half the world crave apocalyptic myths and abusive power
Half the world is pushing seismic shifts and laws to devour
Where do you stand where do you go
Half the country’s at you nail and tooth
Look them up, look them down, look them straight in the eye
And always tell the truth
Verse 3
Take the time take the time
Till you realize
Life is filled with surprise and some compromise
We’ve been so far apart
It’s time to restart the road to love
Chorus
Where do you stand where do you go
Half the country’s at you nail and tooth
Look them up, look them down, look them straight in the eye
And always tell the truth
Outgo
Take A Chance, Take A Chance
Wake up from a trance
Step outside, be a guide to circumstance
Reach out and don’t hide
Take the side of friendship and love
What a delightful song and video!
Thanks Charlie I had a lot of father/daughter fun making it.
Nice Latin feel to it. Your daughter’s done wonderful stuff, with a nod to Matisse I think.
What a joyful song! Wonderful. And that animation is superb!
Thanks Kris. I really enjoyed making it.
