    CHANCES ARE (A RAGGA JUNGLE RIDDIM)

    Chance

     

    chances are

    you and i met just a drumbeat too late

    chances are

    our feet couldnt keep time to the rhythm of our fate

    chances are

    you and i ignored the past and forgot to wipe the slate

    chances are

    before we committed to love we should have 

    let our friendship marinate

    chances are oh lawd

    instead of feeling irie i left you feeling irate

    chances are

    your love was so damn profound i fell under its weight

    chances are

    i acted  too many times like the one who menstruates

    chances are

    i neglected to refresh our windows

    when we needed an update

    chances are

    i sent a love letter to your soul with the wrong postdate

     

    and as the seasons come and go

    who but god truly knows

    what our chances were

    what our romance incurred

    what our hearts deferred

    and what will in heaven occur

    when fate meets chance

    and dances to an everlasting song of love

     

    chances are

    you were  too damn special for a simple mon like me

    chances are

    cupid cought a cold and missed his appointment

    to secure our destiny

    chances are

    im a simple rasta mon with an antiquated philosophy

    chances are oh lawd

    the spirits broke us up so you can retain your sanity

    chances are

    our ship that sailed was the victim of a mutiny

    chances are

    the devil played tricks on our unsuspecting minds

    clandestinely

    chances are

    i will never again gaze upon your beautiful anatomy

    chances are

    our round pegs and square holes

    would never fit symmetrically

     

    and as the seasons come and go

    who but god truly knows

    what our chances were

    what our romance incurred

    what our hearts deferred

    and what in heaven will occur

    when fate meets chance

    and dances to an everlasting song of love

     

    chances are

    the reggae riddim seduced our very souls

    chances are

    we could have written the greatest love story ever told

    chances are

    my myopic vision made me nearsighted 

    when viewing our goals

    chances are oh lawd

    i will never see you again in that sexy camisole

    chances are

    i could have been shawn carter

    and you my beyonce knowles

    chances are

    i sould have played it kool when things were 

    out of control

    chances are

    we will never make love again 

    in a field of marigolds

    chances are  everytime i hear 

    waiting in vain the feeling will never grow old

     

    and as the seasons come and go

    who but god truly knows

    what our chances were

    what our romance incurred

    what our hearts deferred

    and what in heaven will occur

    when fate meets chance

    and dances to an everlasting song of  love
