Lyrics
RISK I'M GONNA RUN
They say I'm looking for fool's gold
Something that does not exist
They say I'm hoping for the best
I'm a dreamer and an optimist
They say it's just a matter of time
And the outcome is already set
It's not a game that I can win
The odds are stacked against the bet
Maybe I've seen something they have not
And this time will be different
Who's to say what's on the cards
And maybe it was meant
IT'S A RISK I'M GONNA RUN
A CHANCE I'M GONNA TAKE
A STAKE I'M READY TO CLAIM
A LEAP OF FAITH I'M GONNA MAKE
MIGHT BE A GAMBLE THAT DOESN'T PAY
MIGHT BE A WAGER THAT GOES THE WRONG WAY
IT COULD END BEFORE IT'S BEGUN
IT'S A RISK I'M GONNA RUN
They say I'm searching in the dark
Running around with eyes closed tight
They say I'm wishing for the moon
And I'm blinded by it's light
All my dreams are out of reach
And it's all one big mistake
The ice can't get much thinner
And like ice my heart will break
Maybe this is supposed to be
And I can prove them wrong
Noone knows what the future holds
Just maybe I belong
CHORUS
It's my right to fall in love with you
It's my decision to make, it's my call
I do not have to justify or defend my feelings for you
Nothing can change my mind, no nothing at all
CHORUS (Repeat)
