Chances were slim, but chances worth taking Are often the hardest to take He tightened his jaw, and though he would walk here He ran in his own special race. Others around him gave up there seeking And settled for best they could get And he hurt when he saw them, cause his heart was broken On the love that his life couldn't hit.

CHORUS ✤ He searches with hope for his treasure And he measures the depth of the sea And I'll search till I find a place that is mine There's a pearl of great value for me.

Alone in a corner and unseen by many One day he discovered her there And he went and he sold off all his possessions To pay for this treasure so rare.

CHORUS ✤

Age came upon him, but he kept on smiling And the life in his eyes never dims For he knows that he has a pearl of great value And he knows she's waiting for him.

CHORUS ✤
