lyrics

first verse, first verse
tell a story
first verse, first verse
set the mood

words are pictures
to open the mind
and just the outline
of a plot line

second verse, second verse
a little bit louder and a whole lot worse
pass the cursed second verse
and you’re on your way out

you won’t need a map or a torch or a compass
to find your way now
the horizon is calling
with water for your drought

so if you get caught up in doubt
there is no wrong or right
you’re learning how to take these words
and breathe them into life

you can get stuck on yourself
or you can pull the knife
just listen to the music
it can bring you back to life

so go
into the next line
flow
you know that you’ll be fine
take time to write your own ending
don’t it feel more you than pretending
breathe
take the invitation
to put to sleep your hesitation
the dance begins when you arrive
so let’s get started and write

one, two, three, on your feet
can’t you see it’s a different game now?
once you get up to speed
do you want in or are you out?

your choices are staying or leaving
speaking or shutting your mouth
recall there’s joy in the sharing
of courage you have found

so if you get stuck on yourself
it's time to pull the knife
you’re learning how to take these words
and breathe them into life

you can get caught up in doubt
or you can roll the dice
just listen to the music
as it brings you back to life

so go
into the next line
flow
you know that you’ll be fine
take time to write your own ending
don’t it feel more you than pretending
breathe
take the invitation
we make believe our limitations
the dance begins when you arrive
so let’s get started and write
