I've been a lotta places in my life
where I couldn't always tell my wrong from right
Dropped everything inside a slot machine
and hoped I could hitch a ride with destiny
Punchin' at the moon
cause I ain't really where I wanna be
Hopin' that the next bus'll take me right outta town
So much on the line that if fear ever tries to come for me
I'll stare him in the face and I'll wrestle him to the ground
When you say your penance
don't look back
let your faith keep you on the run
and you won't have any
more regrets
Once you know the best is yet to come
Let's travel on a space ship back in time
unravellin' the mysteries that we find
No gravity can keep us from what's ours
cause everyday we dream we’ll travel amongst the stars
Show me anyone that has made it to where they wanna be
I'll show you 20 more that have tried and have fallen down
They’ve fallen down, They’ve fallen down
So much on the line that if fear ever gets in front of me
I'll stare him in the face and I'll wrestle him to the ground
Nothing you could say is at loud as the voice inside of me
Had my share of doubts when nobody else was around
No one’s around, No one’s around
So much on the line that if fear ever tries to gun for me
I'll find him where he lives and I'll bury/put him into the ground
