lyrics

No Risk

The tightrope walker may fall to his death
But the view from up there already took his breath, he said
I’m gonna do whatever makes me feel alive
It might kill me in the end, but that’s alright ‘cause

No risk, no reward
You’ll never find out what’s in store if you
Keep walking on these big old floors

Feeling the waves on his way to the beach
A soldier knew of one thing they could not reach
This is for freedom, not for me but for you
They might put me down, but I’m gonna do what I gotta do ‘cause

No risk, no reward
You’ll never find out what’s in store
If you’re too afraid to storm your enemies' shores

Now when it comes to the ultimate gift
I know that we can all make it exist
By showing love in the face of all the doubt
Or else we’ll just continue on without ‘cause

No risk, no reward
You’ll never find out, what’s in store
If you keep wondering what your heart is for

It’s a cosmic dream of the epic kind
It’s a storybook we can’t leave behind
It’s a photograph of what we might have
It’s the simple math that’s within our grasp, but

No risk, no reward
You’ll never find out, what’s in store
If you keep wondering what your heart is for

No risk, no reward
You’ll never find out, what’s in store
If you keep wondering what your heart is for
(It's just love...)
If you keep wondering what your heart is for…
