CHANCES (THE BLIND SIDE, 2009)

“You threaten my son, you threaten me.” – Leigh Anne Touhy

Winning the best actress in the leading role for the movie The Blind Side in this year’s Oscars, Sandra Bullock plays the remarkable Leigh Anne Touhy who takes home, along with the rest of her family, an unwanted African-American young man to their home. Five For Fighting sung Chances, a very apt theme heard at the end of the movie when the real Michael Oher appears.


CHANCES
sung by: Five For Fighting

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 roll away from me

Chances are all they hope to be

Don't get me wrong, I'd never say never

'Cause though Love can't change the weather

No act of God could pull me away from you

I'm just a realistic man

A bottle filled with shells and sand

Afraid to look beyond what I could lose

When it comes to you

And though I'd see us through

Chances are we'll find two destinations

Chances roll away from me

Still chances are more than expectations

But possibilities over me

8 to 5 we're 2 to 1

Lay your money on the sun

Until you crash what have you done

Is there a better bet than love

What you are is what you bring

You gotta cry before you sing

Chances

Chances lost are hopes torn out pages

And maybe this time

Chances are we'll be the combination

Chances come and carry me

Chances are waiting to be taken

And I can see

Chances are the fascination

Chances won't escape from me

Chances are only what we make them

And all I need...
