Fired Up

No Promises

Fired Up


weighted down with doubt 
chained up with change 
life is moving fast 
and nothing is the same 
it's hard to find 
the words to speak 
and harder to grab 
what's just out of reach 

no promises 
and I'm learning this 
I can't take for granted 
what hasn't happened yet 

no promises 
and I'm learning this 
there's no such thing 
as a safe bet 

like so many I'm searching 
for something to count on 

step back and look how we forget what we have 
and then realize it can be gone so fast 
we want to know what's next 
want to believe that we all know the kicks life has up its sleeve 

no promises 
and I'm learning this 
I can't take for granted 
what hasn't happened yet 

no promises 
and I'm learning this 
there's no such thing 
as a safe bet
