Lyrics

Risk

Long after you recognize you could build any space to suit

Words need to be actualized or else they can bury you

Standing in the light of day

Don't carry a single regret

If you fail, you forgive yourself

If you don't try, you'll never forget

Stop shouting out loud and just take the money and run

At the end of the day, know in some foolish way

Is how all great feats are begun

Stop making excuses and put some faith in yourself

No matter the cost, if your fortune is lost

You'll have a different kind of wealth
