| OUT ON A LIMB the summer that i turned eleven i begged to be in my brother's club he said that my only hope was to hang a rope in that oak tree a mile straight up so i held my breath and i said a prayer i made that climb just so i could belong i tied a rope out on a limb and it's still holding strong they say fools rush in, but you can't win if you're afraid to try each time someone says that i can't touch a star you'll find me reaching for the sky until you jump in the water you can't know if you'll sink or swim i got all that i hold dear to me by going out on a limb so i risked it all and i told you how i truly feel i've been wrong about love before but i know this time it's real so i held my breath and i said a prayer your kiss told me i wasn't wrong i took my heart out on a limb and it's still holding strong they say fools rush in, but you can't win if you're afraid to try each time someone says that i can't touch a star you'll find me reaching for the sky until you jump in the water you can't know if you'll sink or swim i got all that i hold dear to me by going out on a limb |
