Out There

Staying home, living day by day May be safe, but it can't be duller Seeing things only black and gray When the world is alive with color Doing just as your neighbors do May be wise, but it ain't so clever Every man has a dream or two Let 'em go and they're gone forever Out there somewhere just out of sight There's a world that's blazing with light Ain't each man alive got the right? To stray just a mite from the straight and narrow Shoot through the night like a flaming arrow Turning back should the highway bend Turning down every chance you're given Takes the risk out of life, but friend How the hell can you call that livin'? Staying put in a pumpkin shell Is a bleak and depressing habit There's a ring on the carousel And it's yours if you'll only grab it Out there somewhere just down the line Lies a world of glory and shine One square foot there's gotta be mine Once in his life every man decides Once when he stands where the road divides Once on a hill as the morning grows Once if he will he can see those Fires glow, flags streaming Spires grow, towers gleaming In a land where the dawn is clear In a sky where the sun's forever On a plain where it's spring all year And the dark of the night is never Somewhere out there just out of sight In that world that's shining with light Ain't each man alive got the right? Once in his life to forget the past Once in his life to behold at last With his own two eyes what lies out there!
