Life just threw me
Another high flying curve ball
And I’m just standing here
Afraid to swing
Afraid I’ll strike out
But you know, I’ve realized
That if I don’t try, I’ll always fail

Chorus:
I need to step out
Get tough
Play rough
Face the scary things in life
So why am I still sitting here?
I need to step out

I’m not afraid to get dirty
I’m not afraid to fall
I know how it is
It hurts
It stinks
But I’ve done them both so many times
I don’t fear doing it again

Chorus:
I need to step out
Get tough
Play rough
Face the scary things in life
So why am I still sitting here?
I need to step out

And sometimes just walking forward
Can be the hardest thing to do
Moving on when you can’t see what’s ahead
Go ahead
Take another step
Someone will catch you
If you happen to fall

So step out
Get tough
Play rough
Face the scary things in life
Why are you still sitting here?
You need to step out

Oh yeah, go step out

Yeah, this is the song I was inspired to write while doing my journal. Strange...

Amazing symbology... if that's what it is. Do you sing or perform your songs? Cos I can totally tell it has a tune and everything. It sounds like 3 Doors Down or something, except more concrete and graphic :)

Yeah, there is much symbolism laced into this piece. I tend to be a quiet person when I'm with people I don't know/don't feel comfortable with. I REALLY don't want to be a wall flower while I'm here at college, however, and this is my vain attempt to remind myself that I need to go out on a limb a little and "step out."

And yes, I did sing this song while I was writing it. Most of my songs have a tune to them when I write them (either that or they develop one while I'm editing them), but anyway. I have to say, I've only sung a few of my songs for anyone, and they are generally small children who don't mind me singing a capella. Glad you like it, though^^

lol awesome. I'm learning guitar, so I'm starting to get an interest in really writing lyrics myself, but I know I have a lot to learn. Before I just knew bass, and you can't really sing to a bass song... but do you play guitar? It's great fun.

Hah, I wish I played guitar. No, I play.. >.> <.< *whispers* flute. Meh, I hate the ditzy sterio type attatched to it, but yeah, thats what I play. That and drums XD LOVE the percussion.

I was starting to learn guitar in my seventh grade music class, but then the boys screwed around one to many times, and we never really learned anything >.<

LOL me too! I learned in 6th, but I thought it was the crap of the world and went rebel on everyone. But now that I've decided to do it on my own, it's cool :)

My daddy plays flute! I've always loved the sound of flutes, especially in rock songs... it makes them a lot more surreal and stuff, you know? If I ever have a band, I'll have a flute or something in it :)
