about

A song I wrote for my dad for raising me right. 50% of proceeds will be given to dad's favorite charity. (No, it isn't me!)

lyrics

DON'T YOU DARE

Did my eyes adjust?
Or did the deepest, blackest sky
just give birth to a hundred million stars?

Are you fooling me?
Did the thunderheads all break
or can I just not feel the rain through all the scars?

The time is getting shorter.
The ice is getting thin.
Your battle's nearly finished.
Look back on where you've been.

You dared to live your life,
dared to dream your dreams
with love as your only guide.
You dared to swim the deep,
dared to give a glimpse
of life on the other side.
Don't you dare
hang around for me.
Don't you dare.

Am I hearing right?
Was the silence of this night
just shattered with a whispering goodbye.
As your trip began
the moon showed you the way.
We watched your flight stunned and starry-eyed.

The time is getting shorter.
The ice is growing thin.
Your battle's nearly over.
Look back on where you've been.

You dared to live your life,
dared to dream your dreams,
with love as your only guide.
You dared to swim the deep,
dared to give a glimpse
of life on the other side.
Don't you dare
hang around for me.
Don't you dare.

Set your sails.
Seek your rest.
Seize the wind.
No regrets.

You dared to live your life,
dared to dream your dreams,
with love as your only guide.
You dared to swim the deep,
dared to give a glimpse
of life on the other side.
Don't you dare
hang around for me.

You dared to live your life,
dared to dream your dreams,
with love as your only guide.
You dared to swim the deep,
dared to give a glimpse
of life on the other side.
Don't you dare
hang around for me.
Don't you dare.
