| Step Out Into The Unknown |
Be brave, she said, youve just got to try
Try and see, dont just hope and cry
If you never attempt, you can never fail
If you stumble off the track, just get back up on the rail
You could stay in one static place and have no dynamics in your life
You could never struggle and you could never face strife
You could be as still as waters where the wind never blows
Or you can be a success story - Who knows?
Step out into the unknown, she said
Then tell me how it went
Spend some money
Splash out man
And for once, dont worry about how much will be spent
You cannot do anything about what hasnt occurred, even though it might
You can fix and learn from what went wrong, it wont always be alright
Dont be afraid of the terror by night
Face it with boldness and smile in its face
You can never win if you dont even attempt the race
Take a deep breath, she said, relax, release and relate
Tread confidently as you go through the gate
Whats on the other side? What are you due?
She said she wouldnt tell you even if she knew
Just cant take those learning experiences away from you
Discover and reveal it for yourself because there lies the greatest value
We tarry, while being stranded in a safety net of pain
Apprehensive and unaware of what is outside to gain
Step out into the Unknown, she said
Do it bravely and dont look back
March on upwards
Lift your head and look on up
And then launch your attack
You dont always need to know where youre going before you step on that train
Just as you dont always carry your umbrella when you know there will be rain
Showers of blessings out there still remain
Hurry and catch them before they trickle down the drain.
