Climb just a&nbsp;little bit higher-&nbsp;&nbsp; but I might fall.Onward just a&nbsp;little bit farther-&nbsp;&nbsp; but I might stumble.Wait just a&nbsp;little bit longer-&nbsp;&nbsp; but it might be too late.A little bit more of myself-&nbsp;&nbsp; but&nbsp;if I fail, it will all be lost.Relinquishing reality, &nbsp;&nbsp; i'll keep theDream&nbsp;&nbsp; "i'd like to do it, maybe someday,I don't know,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; but it would be neat if itCould ever really happen."&nbsp;&nbsp; simply stop trying,Eradicate&nbsp;the chances of&nbsp;winning&nbsp;&nbsp; along with the chances of losingLeave the dream, the "someday,"&nbsp;&nbsp; and is that enough?Only dreaming,&nbsp;&nbsp; never succeeding, never failing, merelySurviving&nbsp;&nbsp; because the fear of losingEnvelopes &nbsp;&nbsp; and pulls andSmothers.
