Dare to Care (text)
Life really can be Crap,
not a lot of chance to Clap,
People come, people Go,
Sometimes you just don’t know.
Abandoned Love,
I just don’t know,
Sometimes I think,
Will I ever know.
If I dare,
I say I care,
If I care,
Why do I dare.
I ask myself, Why do I care,
It’s because I’m prepared to Dare,
Only because,
I really care.
If they stop caring,
Do I stop caring?,
good God no, I would not dare.
That’s because I really care,
I care so much,
I feel Crushed,
Only because I care to dare.
I love to care,
I care to love,
I kinda guess,
I love to care.
Stop walking out,
That’s not fair,
It hurts so much,
That’s not fair.
The tears are there because I care,
There's Sadness there because I care,
The smiles are there because I Care.
Why do I care,
Why do I dare,
I don’t know,
I just do.
I don’t mind Tears,
I don’t mind Sadness,
I love the smiles.
Not only do I dare,
I also Care.
