When was the last time you stopped to watch the roses bloom?
And when was the last time you knew adventure was overdue?
If you can't be sure of anything, you're probably right.
But that's the best reason to stand up tall and put up a fight.

Sometimes you've got to step outside your comfort zone.
And sometimes you need to do things on your own.

You've got to live life on the edge,
And take every moment.
'Cause you won't get ahead,
If you stand in the background -
Cover some ground.

When was the last time you put yourself out on the line?
And when was the last time you had to push your pride aside?
Nothing comes for free you've got to take a risk or two.
And though it ain't easy, good things are gonna come to you.

Sometimes you've got to step outside your comfort zone.
Sometimes you need to do things on your own.

You've got to live life on the edge,
And take every moment.
'Cause you won't get ahead,
If you stand in the background -
Cover some ground.

Tell me you're not gonna wait another day.
'Cause there's no way I'm gonna let you throw your life away.
Every second is so precious, don't you let it go.
And now I'm happy that you know.

You've got to live life on the edge,
And take every moment.
'Cause you won't get ahead,
If you stand in the background -
Cover some ground.

Behind the Song:
"Have you ever thought about the unlimited possibilities in your life? Most people spend their lives in their own comfort zone, never reaching past what they can see. But imagine what you could do if you didn't let fear stop you and you dared to dream. Most worthwhile things don't come easy. So get out there and cover some ground!" - Francesca Battistelli
