All that I've found through the ups and downs Is that I'd have it no other way Life in the raw is both fragile and strong It's both lovely and ugly the same Who can attest that when they're at their best Oh their worst is still crouching close behind It's coming to peace with the darkness in me That allows the true light to shine inside So let it go, for we are still far from home Though you try and try to escape To live and to love will always be dangerous But it's better than playing it safe We are composed of a symphony of notes Every life is as music to His ears I'll play my melody be it haunting be it sweet Unashamed of what anyone might hear So when the load breaks your back and your will You must still keep your heart in the game To live and to love will always be dangerous But it's better than playing it safe So let it go, when it don't feel like home When inside is your only escape To live and to love will always be dangerous But would you want it any other way?
