I Dare You

I dare you to face your fears,
To say, "You don't scare me,
I don't care why you're here."
I dare you to turn back the years,
To step out of the dark sooner,
And ignore the sneers,
I dare you to not cry your tears,

I dare you to leave me behind,
To fight your tears,
But see me cry,
I dare you to fight me this time,
To hold on to our friendship,
Like you were holding on to your life,
I dare you to say goodbye,

I dare you to say, "It's all right."
To turn away,
Without picking a fight,
I dare you to step into the spotlight,
See the world as it is,
Live a little more life,
I dare you to forgive me,
I was never right

Why?

Why do we love?
Why are we here?
Why do we sing?
Why do we fear?
Why are we different?
Why do we cry?
Why do we live?
Why do we die?
Why do we wait?
Why can we starve?
Why do we dream?
And wish on stars?
Why can we hurt?
Why do we laugh?
Why do we walk,
On the well worn paths?
Why do we bleed?
Why can't we see?
We are all humans
Just let us be

Do You Remember?

Do you remember when we thought we were able to fly?
To touch the clouds?
To be the sky?
Do we not do if we never dare to dream?
You are not alone in this world as you seem,
But where would we be now if we didn't dare to dream?

Do you remember when we thought love was forever?
There was never hate?
There was "never say never"?
Do we not do if we never dare to dream?
You are not alone in this world as you seem,
But where would we be now if we didn't dare to dream?

Do you remember when we wished on a star?
When we gazed out the window,
Thinking, "They're not so far."
Do we do if we dare to dream?
You are more loved in the world than you see,
But where would we be now if we didn't dare to dream?
