Skirmish: 'I Risked it All' (@ragbag)

Liner Notes

Nice Prompt!

Lyrics

I risked it all, with no safety net,
Chasing a dream with few regrets
I walked through the fire, again and again,
Knowing full well I was causing you pain
But in the end, I found what’s true
Sometimes you’ve got to fail to breakthrough

I risked it all, with my heart in hand
Left behind the comfort, it wasn’t planned
The road was uncertain, the path was unclear But every step I took, I drew nearer The world felt vast, but I held on tight I risked it all, but I found my light

I risked it all, with no plan in sight
Into the unknown, chasing shadows Every step was a leap, every move was bold
And in uncertainty my story unfolded For what is life without daring to fail It’s all played out, in the details

Sometimes you’ve got to risk it all Sometimes you’ve got to risk it all

Good take on the prompt. Glad to see that your narrator pulled through... it doesn't always work out that way (see my song 😉)

I like how the last line sums up the entire song.
