Indiana i/ɪndiˈænə/ is a U.S. state located in the midwestern and Great Lakes regions of North America. Indiana is the 38th largest by area and the 16th most populous of the 50 United States. Its capital and largest city is Indianapolis. Indiana was admitted to the United States as the 19th U.S. state on December 11, 1816.
Before becoming a territory, varying cultures of indigenous peoples and historic Native Americans inhabited Indiana for thousands of years. Since its founding as a territory, settlement patterns in Indiana have reflected regional cultural segmentation present in the Eastern United States; the state's northernmost tier was settled primarily by people from New England and New York, Central Indiana by migrants from the Mid-Atlantic states and from adjacent Ohio, and Southern Indiana by settlers from the Southern states, particularly Kentucky and Tennessee.
Indiana has a diverse economy with a gross state product of $298 billion in 2012. Indiana has several metropolitan areas with populations greater than 100,000 and a number of smaller industrial cities and towns. Indiana is home to several major sports teams and athletic events including the NFL's Indianapolis Colts, the NASL's Indy Eleven, the NBA's Indiana Pacers, the WNBA's Indiana Fever, the Indianapolis 500, and Brickyard 400 motorsports races.
Take a Chance may refer to:
The best of your years
With the blood, sweat and tears
You find yourself gettin' by
And the best it seems
Well it's all in your dreams
So dream on and on
Dream on, dream on, dream on
Yeah on and on
When you're caught in the middle
And you're caught up in a game
Of too much love and too much hate
Too much too soon
Too little too late
It's not too late to start again, so
Chorus:
Take a chance
It's now or never
Take a chance
You can wait for heaven
Take a chance
It's now or never
But I can't wait forever
When you're young at heart
But too old to change
Just take a chance and make a change
Yesterday's gone
But life goes on
It's not the end of the world, so
Repeat Chorus
I can't wait forever
Oh take a chance, oh take a chance
A chance, oh a chance
Take a chance, yeah
Repeat Chorus
You can't wait forever
And I can't wait forever
