Was it worth the risk

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

Liner Notes

Another go at this fine prompt. Might even have a chorus. Hmmm

Lyrics

Ask yourself was it worth it Was it worth the risk What have you gained, what have you lost Was it worth the risk?

Ask yourself, was it worth the fight?
Did you see the truth, is there a light?
It’s hard to know if you're standing tall
Especially when you’re backed against the wall
Regret is easy, but lessons stay
Sometimes that’s the price we pay

Ask yourself was it worth it Was it worth the risk What have you gained, what have you lost Was it worth the risk?

Ask yourself, was it worth the cost?
Did you win, or lose it all?
It’s hard to tell when the stakes are high
Double down, go home or die The scars may linger, reminders of the fight Sometimes you find strength in the darkest night

Ask yourself was it worth it Was it worth the risk What have you gained, what have you lost Was it worth the risk?

The "back against the wall" couplet is great! The whole song flows and the melody and vocals are smooth and enjoyable to listen to. You really nailed the prompt. Great skirmish!

"It’s hard to know if you're standing tall Especially when you’re backed against the wall" Grand couplet! Fine take on the prompt. The minimalist arrangement contrasts well with the vocals and the message.
