Last Chance



I dance and I dance, I sing and I prance,
For this is my last chance
To make it in this world, I glance.

The room is shaking, the fan is baking.
Oh, how merry it is, I'm crying,
But, these are tears of happiness, overjoying.

Oh, I clap, and I clap, and I clap!
Oh, I jump, and I jump, and I jump from my lap!
For I am overjoyed, then I take a nap.

I'm at peace whether I win or not.
I'm at peace whether I cry or not with snot.
I'm at peace whether I die or not to I rot.

For I have Jesus Christ as my savior.
I win in small amounts it shows in my behavior,
And I serve Jesus Christ far more than a favor.
