Step Out

Step out in to the world and breathe its clean air
Take pains not to worry, take trouble not to care
Hold tight to your conscience and hold fast to your dreams
Be careful to remember, nothing’s as it seems

You’ve kept yourself in, locked and hidden away
Determined to remain and shielded from the day
You’ve remembered your grievances, yet forgotten your sins
Keeping score in your mind of all your losses and wins

Like trying to swim
Like saying goodbye
It’s time to stand up
And learn how to fly

How long do you plan, to continue on this way?
Days, months and years?  Who really can say?
So you haven’t been hurt, and that’s your desire
Living your life, like a bird on a wire

Rise up to the challenge, take life by the reins
Grab hold of the moment, let go of the pain
Learn from your past and guard yourself well
Everyone out there has a story to tell

Like trying to swim
Like saying goodbye
It’s time to stand up
And learn how to fly
