I Stop Taking Risks
Don't be angry, don't show that long face;
they change whenever they try to cheat,
I stop taking risks and reject this defeat:
distrust could be gone with one embrace!
I stop taking risks regardless of its awful outcome,
waiting is useless hope when it turns into delusion;
how much can be accomplished in the meantime
depend on the right set of mind, not on intrusion!
I'm planning ahead, a beautiful home and lots of children;
plan it with me, there's nothing more exciting than this:
oh, he single life has total freedom but very tiny joys....
who seeks happiness finds it and won't lose it again!
I stop taking risks, I move on to days without monotony;
the dreamer still dreams, the doer is always a step ahead
and loses little sleep, do what he does, never be led
by an idea that uses up time, patience, and energy!
Considering how short we live with all the miseries,
one foot must be in front of the other to really thrive.
sitting there and wait for another chance is wasting time:
and the longer we wait, the further we reach for dreams!
