STANDING OUTSIDE THE FIRE

Call me a fool, call me weak, but I'm fully convinced life is just merely survived if you're afraid of it. Big things happen, and it's how we react that makes life what it is. It's not always fun, and it's not always easy, but it's a beautiful ride. Personally, I haven't had things so easy the last few years; and to be honest, there were certain times that I used to feel sorry for myself. It's taken some growing up to get beyond that, and it still pops back up from time to time, but I realize more and more every day that all the trials have made me who I am. A lot of times, it's easy to run away. To bury whatever it is that ails you. But next time it comes up, jump in the fire - you might be surprised at what you find out about yourself.



We call them cool
Those hearts that have no scars to show
The ones that never do let go
And risk the tables being turned

We call them fools
Who have to dance within the flame
Who chance the sorrow and the shame
That always come with getting burned

But you got to be tough when consumed by desire
Cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire

We call them strong
Those who can face this world alone
Who seem to get by on their own
Those who will never take the fall

We call them weak
Who are unable to resist
The slightest chance love might exist
And for that forsake it all

They're so hell bent on giving, walking a wire
Convinced it's not living if you stand outside the fire

Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire

There's this love that is burning
Deep in my soul
Constantly yearning to get out of control
Wanting to fly higher and higher
I can't abide standing outside the fire

Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire
