Sung by Carolyn, the quietly rebellious daughter of Laura, an insufferable stage mom.
lyrics
CAROLYN
People often say that life’s an uphill climb
That doesn’t bother me, I’ve got strength, I’ve got time
I’ve got all the tools, got a space to plant the seed
Got plenty of room to grow, but there’s one thing more that I need
I need a chance
To try for something new
I need a chance to spread my wings
And show what I can do
Give me the chance
And I might prove to you
That maybe sometimes dreams can still come true
Friends are fond of telling me that the road is long and hard
I’m never gonna let that keep me hiding here in my backyard
I only wonder how I can make them understand
I don’t need a handout, but I could use a friend, I could use a hand
And a chance
To try for something real
I need a chance to make mistakes
Just to find out how it feels
Give me the chance
And if I don’t come through
At least I’ve tried, I won’t regret it
But inside, I bet it will come my way
If I get my chance
LAURA
Sleeping in her chrysalis, a butterfly has dreams
Of dancing on a golden sea of rising air and slipstreams
And though she knows her time is short
For joining in the dance
Her tiny heart still aches and beats
And is thankful for the chance
