Second Chance

Another start

A beating heart

A chance to rise above the flames

A fueling spark

Erase the dark

Beginning to bury the shame

 

-I will not fail, no not this time

I can exhale and breathe a sigh

Because this is my time to shine

This is my second chance at life- (chorus)

 

Breaking new ground

Finally sound

Spread my wings and take to the sky

Can't hold me down

Soul has been found

Soaring like an eagle so high

 

-chorus-

 

I won't fail this time

I refuse to die

I won't fail this time

Because this is my second chance at life

 

-chorus-

Suggestions

Remove "so high - cliche and eagle as ending is srtringer, more emotion - lustener is left sailing. Remove "and" condense, enhance varied rhythm. The balance is a chart buster. Third stanza is only bridge needed. Open with it, one midway repeated. Again at end. Title: Soaring Like An Eagle. Nice.
