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)
