Risk It All On One Toss Of The Dice

Can you see it? It's hiding. It's beyond the lies. It's beyond the tears and the terror. It's there, though it's gone. It's beyond the light and the edge of the darkness. Take a look, buy a ticket, tell your friends, take your pick. Safety's not an option, it's the danger in your blood. Can you get a flight? Hitch a ride? Take a chance? Life's a game of luck, play your cards, win or lose. Don't be afraid, don't let us down, don't be a fool or afraid. Cry at the movies, put the truth down on paper, and tell him what you mean. Tell him that you love him. Open your heart to all, to all life has to offer. It it don't work out, you might have lost, but at least you took the chance. If you never say a word, never tell him so, never share your love, the outcome will be this: it's guaranteed, I'll tell you straight, it won't be fun, you'll surely lose. If you never buy a ticket, I'm sure you'll never win, but if you tell him that you love him, he just might love you too. I can't shout it any louder, can't say much more. The power of the music, the awesome film you saw, that funny guy, forget his name, it's all beyond the wall. It's emotion rules the world, gives the meaning to our lives, helps the world go round, makes it all worthwhile, means that we'll all go on. Take a risk, give it a go, cry at the movies, put it down in ink, tell him what you mean. Now.
