Taking chances on those broken branches
You can play it safe or play to win
Life's a gamble, time to pull that handle
As we throw all caution to the wind
They say it's better to have loved and lost
So let the games begin

I'm ready to move that mountain
Dodge anything in my way
A day older but I'm not countin'
I'm rising above the fray
I'm living my life out loud
I'm flying above the crowd
This time I'm breaking this chain
I'm living my life against the grain

Friends I know bow to the status quo
They're marching in a row afraid to complain
I won't conform I fly above the storm
And there's hell to pay, I'm taking the blame
And like the rebels from a different age
Freedom is calling my name

I'm ready to move that mountain
Dodge anything in my way
A day older but I'm not countin'
I'm rising above the fray
I'm living my life out loud
I'm flying above the crowd
This time I'm breaking this chain
I'm living my life against the grain

Like the rain in a raging fire
A song bird on a sparking wire
Singing stoned in a midnight choir
Going against the grain

I'm ready to move that mountain
Dodge anything in my way
A day older but I'm not countin'
I'm rising above the fray
I'm living my life out loud
I'm flying above the crowd
This time I'm breaking this chain
I'm living my life against the grain
I'm ready to move that mountain
Dodge anything in my way
A day older but I'm not countin'
I'm rising above the fray
I'm living my life out loud
I'm flying above the crowd
This time I'm breaking this chain
I'm living my life against the grain
