and Words
Chances are when said and done
Who’ll be the lucky ones
Who make it all the way?
Though you say I could be your answer
Nothing lasts forever
No matter how it feels today
Chances are, we’ll find a new equation
Chances rolled away from me
Chances are all they hope to be
Lyric excerpts from Musixmatch.
We all have those movies we love. They’re the kind of movie where you can recite large portions of the dialogue; this can be either endearing or annoying depending on with whom you watch the film. This is the kind of film where you are compelled to finish if you should run upon it as you channel graze. I have several films that qualify, but certainly The Blind Side is among them.
The film is based on the book by the same name; it is the real-life account of Michael Oher. It effectively frames the story that is as engaging in its significance as it is endearing. It’s simply one of those stories that makes you smile. As the credits roll from the film, they start with a slideshow of pictures and this particular song. I simply can’t hear this song and not see those pictures in my mind.
