The fire's on the stove, but life's right here in front of m-e There's love to be had and b-eauty to be seen There's a choice to be made and a balance to be found Got to take care of responsibilities with feet, firmly on the ground Got to be ready to fly never want to clip our own wings and watch l-ife pass us by Got to be a lover, got to be a soldier Got to be a gambler, got to be a holder Keep the senses keen so you know what you gotta be Ooo it starts right now with y-ou and me Let the water boil over (taste of the life that's right here in front of you) If you look back when you're old-er (don't you wanna say you did all you could do) So march on all you soldiers (can't sit around wondering what you lack) Get the bags off your should-ers (you don't need them and they're holding you back) Let me ask you this today, do you really believe That these things aren't always exactly what they seem to be You'll never know until you try You'll never live until you die There's a flame that burns inside With a love we shouldn't hide So why not shout out all the things, that you thought you'd never say And throw out all the things, that you know get in the way (repeat 2nd verse) ~chorus~ (2x) ~chorus~ (3x)
