Everybody, listen to me, I got something to say
When you're uptight, and not feeling right, you find a better way
Look around you, what surrounds you, danger's everywhere
Does it feel like you're living life on the edge?
Stop playing with fire, you know you'll just get burned
There's no good reason to put your life on the line
Don't walk in the darkness, where evil tends to dwell
You've got the power to choose between heaven and hell
Got to wake up, got to shake it up, do you know what I mean?
Strange faces, shady places, it's not the place to be
See reality, be what you want to be, then reach for the sky
Time to wake up, time to get up and fly
Stop playing with fire, you know you'll just get burned
There's no good reason to put your life on the line
Don't walk in the darkness, where evil tends to dwell
You've got the power to choose between heaven and hell
Can you see me? Do you hear me? Let me know how you feel
Feel the freedom, and feel the power, then you'll know that it's real
Find a new way, and find a better way, then keep it in line
Time to break loose, time to leave it behind
Stop playing with fire, you know you'll just get burned
There's no good reason to put your life on the line
Don't walk in the darkness, where evil tends to dwell
You've got the power to choose between heaven and hell
