Lyrics
Today's the day
And so today you are a pioneer
Overcome the fear
Just one last step now, into a new frontier
And now's the time for that leap of faith
Time for that final step
Breathe deep and slowly count to ten
One final step is gonna take you to success
Across the great abyss of fear
And through the lions' den
The fight was hard
Herculean task to beat adversity
Rise up to the test
And climb away from mediocrity
Into the lions' den
Some people dream
Of bein' like you, won't know the price you've paid
Most will never leave
The safety of their mind-bound masquerade
And now's the time for that leap of faith
Time for that final step
Breathe deep and slowly count to ten
One final step is gonna take you to success
Across the great abyss of fear
And through the lions' den
Today's the day
And so today you are a pioneer
Overcome the fear
Just one last step now, into a new frontier
Into the lions' den
