Group 1 Crew – People Of A Second Chance lyrics

[Verse 1]
Who will speak for the hopeless
Ones who never had any chance
To even dream of a better way or a better day to be better than the ones in the past
Can I look inside a mirror, and think, Manny, what are you doin
Hardest question that I had to ask 'cause the answer came fast
It was not improvin
I could read every scripture, tell the world God is real, Jesus saves
But then ignore there are more slaves now then any other time in history, wait…
Is that true, I mean for real, how could that possibly be
That's why I cry out for God, do something, help us believe

[Chorus]
We're the people of a second chance
Lift your hands, lift your hands
(2x)
Grace is more than we deserve
Nothing we could ever earn
We're the people of a second chance
Lift your hands, lift your hands

[Verse 2]
I believe in the youth of the world
They the future, tell me why
All we do is try to judge them, try to hush them, hopin that they fall in line
But they need to know anything is possible
Nothin's outta reach if they just have faith
No, you're not alone, doesn't matter what the world says
You ain't gotta stay in your place
There's a great big world just waitin
Waitin to scream your name
'Cause what you have inside can change them
This is way more than fame
This is the revolution, the blueprint of a new day
Everybody's hope of change
This is your time, the freedom is yours, lift your voice and say


[Chorus]
We're the people of a second chance
Lift your hands, lift your hands
(2x)
Grace is more than we deserve
Nothing we could ever earn
We're the people of a second chance
Lift your hands, lift your hands

[Bridge]
Unconditional, uncontainable
Does the impossible
This is grace
Uncontrollable, unbelievable
It's a miracle
This is grace

[Chorus]
We're the people of a second chance
Lift your hands, lift your hands
(2x)
Grace is more than we deserve
Nothing we could ever earn
We're the people of a second chance
Lift your hands, lift your hands
