Not Every Man Lives

Have you ever skipped a stone across the water?

Have you ever hitched a free ride on a train?

Have you ever climbed up on a water tower

To write a name?

The truth is every man dies

Not every man lives

Have you ever loved someone that you would die for?

Have you ever walked too far out on a limb?

Have you ever chased a dream too high to reach for

And pulled it in?

Truth is, every man dies

And not every man lives

I wanna paint outside the lines, run the red lights in my mind

Take everything one lifetime has to give

I wanna stand inside a fire, walk blindfolded on a wire

Every man dies, but not every man lives

Have you ever thought about how fast time passes?

Ever thought about what you would leave behind?

Ever stood up for something you believed in

And drawn a line?

Truth is, every man dies

And not every man lives

I wanna paint outside the lines, run the red lights in my mind

Take everything one lifetime has to give

I wanna stand inside a fire, walk blindfolded on a wire

Every man dies, but not every man lives

I wanna stand inside a fire, walk blindfolded on a wire

Every man dies, but not every man lives

Have you ever skipped a stone across the water?

Have you ever hitched a free ride on a train?
