Thinking back to long ago When we were young, breaking rules, hoping no one would know The earth would move ever so slow We learned that time's not on our side as we start to grow Waging wars in our backyard Though it was always made pretend We would fight just as hard Dreaming of the future High life, fast cars Telling each other, mate, you're gonna go far We're taking the leap of faith Knowing if you don't, you'll think your chance is gone Sometimes it's a risk you have to take Knowing that all of your work could be undone You're not aiming for the glory or the fame You just want them to know your name Every journey starts with the first step You gotta walk before you run You and me, we've spent the time You've seen the good, I've seen the bad We both know that line We cross it all the same and we hope to shine We're walking in the right direction, but we're walking blind Whoa, whoa, whoa It's called taking the leap of faith Knowing if you don't, you'll miss your chance is gone Sometimes it's a risk you have to take Although all your work could be undone We're not in it for the glory or the fame We just want them to know your name Every journey starts with the first step You gotta walk before you run Let's talk about the here and now The why and how Those of us who made it should take a bow Start thinking about the way back when The now and then There's no difference We still don't know how it's gonna end Whoa, whoa, whoa It's called taking the leap of faith Knowing if you don't, you'll blink your chance is gone Sometimes it's a risk you have to take Knowing that all of your work could be undone You're not in it for the glory or the fame You just want them to know your name Every journey starts with the first step You gotta walk before you run you
