Taking Chances

Taking Chances

when we were young, full of vim and vigger

we could not wait, until we were bigger

few things frightened us, we were made out of steel

seeking excitement, we wanted to feel

short on brainpower, but strong blood and guts

we didn't care, if we were knocked on our butts

we'd get right back up, and try it again

from climbing a tree, to commiting a sin

now we are older, the chances more measured

simple things then, now are more treasured

being more careful, with much more to risk

keeping things hidden, on a backup hard disk

are we smarter now, or just a whole lot more boring

have we lost our zest, spending time hiding and snoring

afraid to take chances, throw our hearts in the ring

seeking out ways, to make our hearts sing

I don't want to die, having too many regrets

being so careful, simply hedgeing my bets

let them all snicker, and call me a fool

I want to live life, bending some of the rules

put on that parachute, take that big leap,

take some missed chances, before that last sleep

look that special friend, square in the eye

tell them I love you, let your heart fly

Great whatever opportunity it is big or small, we dont know where will it take us.

Just grab the opportunity and lets get ready to experience life
