I put my hands in the fire
I liked to climb a little higher
It wasn't easy for the family I was born into
I never asked permission to just start livin'
'Cause that's what cowards do
When I was young and pretty
Gettin' mugged in the city
You could take my money if that's what you call fun
But I learned not to back down
Or turn away from a shakedown
'Cause only cowards run
Oh, cowards, come on, fools
Forget the things you learned in schools
There are wonderful mistakes we're gonna make together
Oh, cowards, can't you see
There is air around to breathe?
And the love we make tonight will last forever
I'm full of fire and vigor
A little piss and vinegar
I keep my heart wide open, but I'm not naive
I don't believe in tellin' lies
Or buildin' life on compromise
'Cause that's what cowards believe
We're lookin' up from the bottom
I can't deny there's problems
It's clear we gotta swim or else we gonna sink
I know it's gonna be difficult
I'm sick of people who are cynical
'Cause that's how cowards think
Oh, cowards, come on, dance
You were born to take a chance
There are answers unimagined, we can find together
Oh, cowards, can't you see
There is air around to breathe?
And the music our hearts make will last forever
It will last forever
I put my hands in the fire
I liked to climb a little higher
Wasn't easy for the family I was born into
I never asked permission to just start livin'
'Cause that's what cowards do
