“I’d rather burn with desire
deep in my soul
and love like a fire that’s out of control
and laugh
and dance
and fall
and chance
and kiss
I’d rather live my whole life
with a sense of abandon
squeeze every drop out
no matter what happens
and not wonder what I missed
I’d rather
Risk”
Paul Brandt – Risk
