How you Ever Gonna Know (written by Kent Blazy and Garth Brooks)
That old wind that's whippin' out there
It's whistlin' your tune
That wind blew pyramids to Egypt
And footprints to the moon
And that old star that you're been wishin' on
Is shinin' mighty bright
It's the fire inside your heart
That's gonna lead you to the light
How you ever gonna know
What it's like to live there
How you ever gonna know victory
How you ever gonna know
What it's like when dreams become reality
How you ever gonna know
How it feels to hold her
How you ever gonna know
What it's like to dance
How you ever gonna know
If you never take the chance
You know failure isn't failure
If a lesson from it's learned
I guess love would not be love
Without a risk of bein' burned
Anything in life worth havin'
Lord, it has its sacrifice
But the gift that you're receiving
Is worth more than the price
How you ever gonna know
What it's like to live there
How you ever gonna know
What you never knew
How you ever gonna know
If you're down her doin'
What the good Lord put you here to do
How you ever gonna know
If you could have done it
How you ever gonna know
How it feels to fly
How you ever gonna know
If you never dare to try
Listen not to the critics
Who put their own dreams on the shelf
If you want to get the truth to admit it'
You gotta find out for yourself
How you ever gonna know
What it's like to be there
How you ever gonna know
If you're the best
How you ever gonna know
What you believe in
If you don't put it to the test
How you ever gonna know
How it feels to hold him
How you ever gonna know
What livin' means
How you ever gonna know
If you never chase the dream
How you ever gonna know
Your potential
How you ever gonna know victory
How you ever gonna know
What it's like when dreams
Become reality
How you ever gonna know
How it feels to hold her
How you ever gonna know
What it's like to dance
How you ever gonna know
If you take the chance
The Impossible (written by Kelley Lovelace and Lee Thomas Miller)
My dad chased monsters from the dark,
He checked underneath my bed;
He could lift me with one arm,
Way up over top his head;
He could loosen rusty bolts,
With a quick turn of his wrench;
He pulled splinters from his hand'
Never even flinched;
In 13 years I never seen him cry'
But the day that grandpa died
I realized:
Unsinkable ships,
sink;
Unbreakable walls,
break;
Sometimes the things you think could never happen,
Happen just like that;
Unbendable steel,
bends;
If the fury of the wind,
is unstoppable;
I’ve learned to never underestimate,
the impossible.
Then there was my junior year,
Billy had a brand new car;
It was late,
The road was wet,
I guess the curve was just to sharp;
I walked away without a scratch,
They brought helicopter in;
Billy couldn’t feel his legs,
Said he’d never walk again;
But Billy said he would,
And his mom and daddy prayed;
And the day we graduated,
He stood up to say:
(Chorus)
So don’t tell me that it’s over,
Don’t give up on you and me;
Cause there no such thing as hopeless,
If you believe:
(chorus)

Standing Outside The Fire
(written by Jenny Yates and Garth Brooks)
We call them cool
Those hearts that have no scars to show
The ones that never do let go
And risk the tables being turned
We call them fools
Who have to dance within the flame
Who chance the sorrow and the shame
That always comes with getting burned
But you got to be tough when consumed by desire
'Cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire
We call them strong
Those who can face this world alone
Who seem to get by on their own
Those who will never take the fall
We call them weak
Who are unable to resist
The slightest chance love might exist
And for that forsake it all
They're so hell bent on giving, walking a wire
Convinced it's not living if you stand outside the fire
(Chorus)
Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire
There's this love that is burning
Deep in my soul
Constantly yearning to get out of control
Wanting to fly higher and higher
I can't abide standing outside the fire
(Repeat chorus twice)
Do What you Gotta Do
(written by Pat Flynn)
Sometimes you gotta take the heat
If you wanna walk down the mean street
Take the heat and you see it through
'Cause sometimes it comes down to
Do what you gotta do
Sometimes it goes right down to the wire
And you might have to walk through the fire
Walk on, Boy, all the way through
Sometimes it just comes down to
Do what you gotta do
Well, there's people that'll tell you
It's just no use
And there's people that'll tell you
That you're gonna lose
People that'll tell you
Anything you're gonna listen to
Do what you gotta do
Someday they're gonna call your name
They'll come looking for someone to blame
What's you name, boy
Hey, you just tell them true
'Cause they can't take the truth from you
Do what you gotta do
Well they'll call you a hero or a traitor
But you'll find out that, sooner or later,
Nobody in this world is gonna do it for you
Do what you gotta do
There ain't nobody in this world
That's gonna do it for you
Do what you gotta do
The River (written ?)
You know a dream is like a river
Ever-changing as it flows
And a dreamer's just a vessel
That must follow where it goes
Trying to learn from what's behind
And never knowing what's in store
Makes each day a constant battle
Just to stay between the shores
(Chorus)
And I will sail my vessel til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind, these waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination if I never try
So I will sail my vessel til the river runs dry
Too many times we stand aside
And let the water slip away
What we put off til tomorrow
Has now become today
So don't you sit upon the shoreline
And say you're satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids
And dare to dance the tide
(Repeat chorus)
