Well I have been my whole life in this town that never changed
I spent so many years working for someone I don´t know
It´s said I can´t complain ´cause I get fifty bucks a day
And that´s enough to keep payin´ my loan
One day I had a vision while I worked under the sun
I saw myself in that right place and diggin´ my own grave
But now I´ve got no worries, no more bullets in my gun
I won´t stay where my hopes are dashed away
I DON´T WANNA BE SO DOCILE, NOTHING VENTURED NOTHING GAINED
IF NOTHING REALLY EXCITING COMES MY WAY
INSTEAD I RATHER RISK ALTHOUGHT I KNOW THAT I CAN FAIL
AND FEEL THE WINDS HITTING MY FACE
I left my house wide open and I went to meet my fate
I walked a thousand hills and beauteous valleys on my own
I felt myself released knowing that I was never late
And any interesting spot could be my home
I made myself a promise there won´t be no turning back
Just wanna face the consequences of feeling alive
There´s gonna be no lies ´cause I´m not wearing any masks
I leave my problems and my faith behind
I DON´T WANNA BE SO DOCILE, NOTHING VENTURED NOTHING GAINED
IF NOTHING REALLY EXCITING COMES MY WAY
INSTEAD I RATHER RISK ALTHOUGHT I KNOW THAT I CAN FAIL
AND FEEL THE WINDS HITTING MY FACE
