Song #76 The Dance of Risk and Failure

 

WHAT IF YOU KNEW TODAY WOULD TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY

WHAT IF YOU KNEW TODAY WOULD TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY

WOULD YOU GO, WOULD YOU JUMP AND TAKE THE CHANCE

WOULD YOU GO, WOULD YOU DARE TO DO THE DANCE

OF RISK AND FAILURE?

 

WHAT IF THE LIFE YOU LOVED CAME TO AN END

BECAME TOO SAFE AND WAS EATING UP YOUR SOUL

WOULD YOU CHANGE, TRY SOMETHING NEW AND TAKE A PUNT

COULD YOU CHANGE, START AGAIN AND ROLL THE DICE

OF LIFE AND LIVING?

 

YOU KNEW IT ALL OR AT LEAST KNEW WHERE TO LOOK

YOU HAD ROUTINE AND RHYTHM ALL PLAYED BY THE BOOK

COULD YOU STOP, TURN AROUND, TRY SOMETHING NEW

BE A CHILD, TAKE A RISK AND JOIN THE FEW

WHO CAN COPE WITH FAILURE?

 

BRIDGE

YOU TELL YOURSELF OF COURSE YOU WOULD

OH THE CHANCE TO STAND ON THE EDGE AND FALL (X2)

 

YOU FEEL TODAY COULD TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY

TODAY YOU’D JUMP, TAKE THE RISK, AND DO THE DANCE

OF RISK AND FAILURE

OF RISK AND FAILURE

Commentary: Another post full time work song when I was still trying to work out what I'd do with myself. Challenging myself to be more adventurous ....
