Lyrics
Standing Lonely, looking down from the top of a hill.
Wondering about your life, the questions you ask still.
Do you want to keep living,
Or dig your grave and jump right in?
One step forward just might be paradise
Forget those people pretending to be nice.
It only takes a little courage.
So step on out to step ahead.
CHORUS
And I?ll be free as a bird
Laughing ?bout the problems I have now.
Free as a bird.
Flying high while you?re still on the ground.
When I?m gone please don?t say, ?Oh what a shame.?
?Cause the way I see it, well life is just a game.
You?ve got your winners and losers,
And then there?s those who just can?t play
I took my chances and I tossed the loosing dice.
And now I?m ready to pay a loser?s price.
If I made the right decision
It will be the first time in my life.
CHORUS
