Not Every Man Lives

Have you ever skipped a stone across the water?

Have you ever hitched a free ride on a train?

Have you ever climbed up on a water tower

To write a name?

The truth is, every man dies

Not every man lives

Have you ever loved someone that you would die for?

Have you ever walked too far out on a limb?

Have you ever chased a dream too high to reach for

And pulled it in?

The truth is, every man dies

Not every man lives

I want to paint outside the lines

Run the red lights in my mind

Take everything one lifetime has to give

I want to stand inside a fire

Walk blind-folded on a wire

Every man dies

But not every man lives

Have you ever thought about how fast time passes?

Ever thought about what you would leave behind?

Ever stood up for something you believed in

And drawn a line?

The truth is, every man dies

But not every man lives

I want to paint outside the lines

Run the red lights in my mind

Take everything one lifetime has to give

I want to stand inside a fire

Walk blind-folded on a wire

Every man dies

But not every man lives

I want to stand inside a fire

Walk blind-folded on a wire

Every man dies

But not every man lives

Have you ever skipped a stone across the water?

Have you ever hitched a free ride on a train?
