Take a Risk

"I waited at home in my own comfort zone. Thought my life was planned out already set in stone. I ran from love with no goodbyes not even trying. So I crossed an ocean. Climbed the mountains. Quit some things in life and threw pennies in fountains. I fell in love. Told some goodbyes. Oh, now I'm trying.
 
Tell me you tried. Tell me you dropped out. Tell me your lies. Tell me you left town. Tell me you fell in love with a girl and you don't know why. Tell me you gave risk a try.

Now, I'm gonna travel all over. Play my love songs for her. Hold my child close to me while he weeps on my shoulder. So baby boy, please don't cry. You're the reason why I am giving risk a try.

Tell me you tried. Tell me you dropped out. Tell me your lies. Tell me you left town. Tell me you fell in love with a girl and you don't know why. Tell me you gave risk a try.

'So take the rocky road,
that leads you far from home.
The comforts now in life will only upset your soul.
Live your dream. Change your life.
Take a risk and try.'"
