Second Chance by Shinedown

(a.k.a. the Halley's Comet song)
In case you were wondering where the inspiration came from for the horse, Hayleigh's Comet...

The majority of horse names for my comic have been inspired by something, whether it be a flavor of lip gloss, a phrase from a song, or a metaphoric representation of something in everyday life. About a month ago, I was on the prowl for horse name inspiration. I just so happened to be in Pittsburgh, at the Hard Rock, eating an insanely delicious bacon cheeseburger, when all the sudden this amazing song came on: Second Chance by Shinedown. The instant I heard the line about Halley’s Comet, I knew that had to be her name. A couple spelling tweaks and it was perfect. Even the title of the song, “Second Chance” perfectly sums up the main theme of my comic. :D

Here are the lyrics to Second Chance by Shinedown from azlyrics.com:

"Second Chance"

My eyes are open wide
And by the way, I made it
Through the day
I watched the world outside
By the way, I'm leaving out
Today

I just saw Hayley's comet
She waved
Said why you always running
In place?
Even the man in the
Moon disappeared
Somewhere in the
Stratosphere

[Chorus]
Tell my mother,
Tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying...
Sometimes goodbye
Is a second chance

Please don't cry
One tear for me
I'm not afraid of
What I have to say
This is my one and
Only voice
So listen close, it's
Only for today

I just saw Hayley's comet
She waved
Said why you always running
In place?
Even the man in the
Moon disappeared
Somewhere in the
Stratosphere

[Chorus]
Tell my mother,
Tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying...
Sometimes goodbye
Is a second chance

Here's my chance
This is my chance

Tell my mother,
Tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying...
Sometimes goodbye
Is a second chance

Sometimes goodbye
Is a second chance [x2]
