Power of Three

We all take our chances
Every now and then
We take a little gamble
And if we should lose out
On a first try
Maybe third time lucky

Each time I hear
It's all so clear
Power of three

Give me three chances
Either three guesses
Get it right sometimes
Genie grants only three wishes
Give me three reasons

In books and in religion
Even history is a tale of three
And sometimes in fiction or the movies
Set out a trilogy

Each time I hear
It's all so clear
Power of three

There were three wise men
There were three gifts
And they were shown the way

Give me three reasons
Genie grants only three wishes
Give me three chances
Either three guesses
Get it right sometimes
Genie grants only three wishes
Give me three reasons
