From the recording The Fireman's Daughter
Lyrics
How long will you remain afraid
Of ghosts and shadows on parade?
In sighs and whispers they deceive
Raise your voice and say what you believe
So take a breath, make a vow
Whatever you stand for, stand for it now
Don’t regret you let this moment slip away
For all your days
In silence, secrets turn to lies
While dreams unspoken surely die
But there’s no courage without fear
Have you forgotten why you’re here?
So take a breath, make a vow
Whatever you stand for, stand for it now
Don’t regret you let this moment slip away
For all your days
For all your days
Should fortune smile upon the bold
Still the fortunate grow old
What would you do differently tonight
If this should be the final song you’d write?
So take the stage, take a bow
Whatever you wait for, you’re done waiting now
You’ve got all your life, don’t let this moment fade
For all your days
For all your days
