DARE TO TRY, DARE TO LOVE, DARE TO MAKE A COMMITMENT, DARE TO TAKE A RISK.

If you don't dare to risk, you'll never get ahead, You'll never solve your problems.

 

TO LAUGH IS TO RISK APPEARING THE FOOL

TO WEEP IS TO RISK APPEARING THE SENTIMENTAL

TO REACH FOR ANOTHER IS TO RISK INVOLVEMENT

TO EXPOSE YOUR FEELINGS IS TO RISK EXPOSING YOUR TRUE SELF

TO PLACE YOUR IDEAS AND DREAMS BEFORE A CROWD IS TO RSK THEIR LOSS

TO LOVE IS TO RISK NOT BEING LOVED IN RETURN

TO LIVE IS TO RISK DYING

TO BELIEVE IS TO RISK DESPAIR

TO TRY IS TO RISK FAILURE

 

BUT RISKS MUS BE TAKEN, COS THE GREATEST HAZARD IN LIFE IS TO RISK NOTHING

THE PEOPLE WHO RISK NOTHING, DO NOTHING, HAVE NOTHING, ARE NOTHING

THEY MAY AVOID SUFFERING AND SORROW, BUT THEY CANNOT LEARN, FEEL, CHANGE, GROW, LOVE, LIVE.

CHAINED BY THEIR ATTITUDES THEY ARE SLAVES, THEY HAVE FORFEITED THEIR FREEDOM.

ONLY A PERSON WHO RISKS IS FREE....

People think I've got it all together
With the show of my sweet, sweet smile
But do they know if I've been happy ever
Pull up a chair 'cause this may take a while
Okay, so here's the thing

I've got my bad days
And some are even worse
I can be a blessing
And you know, I can be a curse

I tremble at rejection
I'm scared to be alone
Sometimes I may be selfish
But I always make it home

CHORUS
This is the real me
Am I the girl that you want me to be
This is the real me
With flaws and fears of intimacy
This is the real me

Can you face it
Can you feel it
Can you take it
Can you deal with
The real me

So now you see that I am far from perfect
I will fall and I will make mistakes
But I am here and this has taken courage
Will you abandon me or will you stay

I know that I'm demanding
And sometimes insecure
I think I've got the answers
But then I'm not so sure

I sometimes need attention
A little more than I should
But there is a part of me
That give the whole world if I could

CHORUS

Now that I've gone and let you in
And I no longer will pretend
Will you please still be my friend

Sometimes I'm sadden by the choices I make
So many tears I have cried
Got what I wanted but the dream seemed to fade
Still feeling unsatisfied

But you saved me
Forgave me, how you've shown
You'd never leave me all alone
Oh, Lord

[Chorus]
Everytime I loose my place
The beauty of your grace
Shines a light so I can see
Everytime I loose my way
You make it all okay
I feel your love surrounding me

You are here, calming my fears
You lead me back with your sweet song,
You're where I belong

[Verse 2]
You're always there to guide me through my mistakes,
You've never once, left my side
The way you pick me up each time my heart breaks
The way you always stood by

I'd feel you, you'd move right through my heart
We never really were apart
Oh, Lord

[Chorus]

I will always put my faith in you
'Cause I know you understand
I will try my best to follow you
'Cause I know you've got a plan

Just to have you in my life
Is far more than enough
You are everywhere around me now
I can feel your precious love

All the wonders of your ways
I'm constintly amazed
How you make me safe and sound

Its the way you lift me up
You've given me so much
Only you would never let me down

You are here, calming my fears
You lead me back with your sweet song,
You're where I belong.
