Wide Wide World

I wanted to be safe

I wanted to get by

I almost lost my edge

I could not fathom why

But you would never let me

Your dang'rous side won out

'Cause you knew what I wanted

I wanted to get out

Chorus:

It's a wide wide world

And I almost lost you in it

It's a chance to live

But it almost passed me by

It's an open door

To live for something better

'Cause you keep leading me

Into the wide wide world

Did Moses want to turn back

After crossing the red sea?

I bet that he got nervous

I wish that I could see

'Cause I've got the shakes all over

And I want to turn around

But I'm twice as scared of missing

The good that can be found

Chorus

'Cause you are past the borders

Somewhere off the map

Of what feels comfortable

And I am so grateful for that

It's adventure that we want

And it's what we'll fin'lly get

There's nothing safe about You

But sometimes I forget

So lead me into the wide world

Don't let me miss my chance

'Cause I'll blink and it'll be over

And I won't pass here again
