Edge of Safe

Been running with the crowd
Trying to survive
So worried about tomorrow
There's no time to be alive
Living in a race
This race against the time
Dying more each moment
As each moment passes by

I've been there at the edge of safe
Good enough but never daring to be great
In this cage with the doors open wide
So afraid to go and see what's outside
What's outside
If I learn to fly

I lived their life so good
Dotted every i
Wore the mask they gave me
So they wouldn't see me cry
I hid my dreams and hopes
Deep inside my bones
So their names couldn't hurt me
Not even their sticks and stones

I've been there at the edge of safe
Good enough but never daring to be great
In this cage with the doors open wide
So afraid to go and see what's outside
What's outside
If I learn to fly

It's easy to live in the shadows
Doing just enough to get by
Never let them see my dreams
Never let myself dream I could learn to fly

I've been there at the edge of safe
Good enough but never daring to be great
In this cage with the doors open wide
So afraid to go and see what's outside
What's outside
If I learn to fly
