Walk On Water

Guitar case always open

song after song that no one's heard

pages of journals written

with all my unlived dreams

and I'm holding a ticket

while I'm sitting in this waiting room

so afraid to try

why am I so afraid to take the ride

through the unpredictable

stepping out where there's no floor

fingernails bit down to the quick

I can't go on like this

I want to walk on water through the deepest sea

I want to walk into your mystery

and I will walk through fire just to live my life for something greater

my greatest failure is not to try

I've held my heart too close to be stolen

time after time I've turned away

so scared that if I open up you might just walk away

and I'm sitting alone here

in this fortress that I've made my home

so afraid to love

but even more afraid to be loved

though it seems impossible

stepping out where there's no floor

there's a world that I have missed...

I've got to take the risk

I've got to try

I've got to try

before I die...

life's too short to be hiding

love's a risk

a risk worth fighting for

I want to know how far my heart can go

I'll never know until I try

I've got to try

I've got to try

I've got to try
