...Raise The Bar...
What you can see in your mind, you can achieve on some scale,
It takes nothing to try, but were all on trial when we fail,
Mistakes can be learned from, but we say why take that risk?
Face embarrassment, or stick to what already exists?
Follow like sheep, stick to the path with our friends,
Whats the point of adventure, we know where this road ends,
The same place, and here we are safe, why chance loss?
What's to say that we'll win, succeed or get lost?
Trapped in insanity, died stuck to the wall,
Never dared to venture forward, too afraid he would fall,
Be forced to crawl all the way back, back to square one,
And start over again, like true love when its gone,
Black hole, tumbling downwards, a chute becomes twisted,
They told me as a young child, if its not broke, why fix it?
Why risk it? Why lose out on the security i own?
Why lay my cards on the table? Why walk out all alone?
Why stray from the flock? Why turn my back on the block?
I value this position, why gamble all that I've got?
They argue my case, say change isn't always that bad,
But you never miss out on, things that you never had,
In time I'll be glad, that I insured all that was mine,
Never bet on the outcomes, never lost a dollar or dime,
Played life in the safe lane, and kept moderate smiles,
Never had times of hardship, yet never times more than fine,
Never had to start over, build up from the bottom pile,
Never hurled one foot forward, never ran that extra mile,
Stuck in between, never a moment of pain have i seen,
But never a moment of joy, and it's almost obscene,
I see some of them grow, happy smiles on their faces,
While others, they cry, spray gunfire on races,
Is it worth taking chances? Is it worth risking shots?
If you had one oppertunity, would you let it fall through the slot?
