You hide, won't fight, avoid the daylight
Give in, won't win, no try to make it right
Why don't you stop crying? Stop your painful dying
Why don't you give your life a sense?One game, one aim but you're always sleeping
One light so bright, in darkness you're creeping
Why don't you use your head? Step out of your warm bed
And stop being on anxious ratRun for your destination, fly to the sun
Don't give a damn what the people may say
It's like a chain on your leg, when you always look back
If you don't risk anything, one day you'll payDon't run for cover, don't cry alone
Make a step on your stairway
One step closer to what you live forDon't run for cover, don't throw away
The only chance that you got
To be the fire in a hot life you chooseNo pride, no right, [unverified], in your heart is more strength
You know, I know, your destiny's in your hand
Now you have this time to survive, don't be blind
In this world where so many can't seeTry to catch the key, make that you can see
The light of your life your way to go
It's like a chain on your leg when you always look back
If you don't risk anything, one day you'll payDon't run for cover, don't cry alone
Make a step on your stairway
One step closer to what you live forDon't run for cover, don't throw away
The only chance that you got
To be the fire in a hot life you choose
