STANDING OUTSIDE THE FIRE
by: Garth Brooks
We call them cool..those hearts that have no scars to show
the ones that never do let go
and risk the table being turned.
We call them fools..who have to dance within the flame
who chance the sorrow and the shame
that always comes with getting burned.
But you got to be tough when consumed by desire
cuz it's not enough just to stand outside the fire.
We call them strong..those who can face this world alone
who seem to get by on their own.
Those who will never take the fall.
We call them weak.. who are unable to resist
the slightest chance love might exist
and for that forsake it all.
They're so hell bent on giving..walking a wire 
convinced it's not living if you stand outside the fire.
Standing outside the fire..Standing outside the fire.
Life is not tried ..it is merely survived 
if you're standing outside the fire.
There's this love that is burning deep in my soul
constantly yearning to get out of control
wanting to fly..higher and higher
I can't abide..standing outside the fire.
Standing outside the fire..Standing outside the fire.
Life is not tried ..it is merely survived 
if you're standing outside the fire.
