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!
