I've been told
That watching the day's news unfold
Is one way to make yourself old
To feel you've bought more than you've sold
I have seen
A man go from fame to has-been
Some treasured thing losing its sheen
And folks who can't say what they mean
But if you try to stay away from thugs and foul play
It passes you by
You should step into the fray and give it a try
If you can't think what to say you shouldn't fade away
Don't say your goodbyes
You should take a chance you might cry
You should take a chance you might cry
I have found
The longer I'm kicking around
A voice that's kept under the ground
Can sometimes be rather profound
But you'll know
When you open your mind to the flow
When you don't move because they said go
When you cast off your chains your mind grows
But if you try to stay away from thugs and foul play
It passes you by
You should step into the fray and give it a try
If you can't think what to say you shouldn't fade away
Don't say your goodbyes
You should take a chance you might cry
You should take a chance you might cry
But if you try to stay away from thugs and foul play
Life passes you by
You should should step into the fray and give it a try
If you can't think what to say you shouldn't fade away
Don't say your goodbyes
You should take a chance you might cry
You should take a chance you might cry
