Wide Wide World Lyrics - Singles - Erin O' Donnell

I wanted to be safe 

I wanted to get by 

I almost lost my edge 

I could not fathom why 

But You would never let me 

Your dangerous side won out 

'Cause You knew what I wanted 

I wanted to get out 

It's a wide, wide world 

And I almost lost You in it 

It's a chance to live 

But it almost passed me by 

It's an open door 

To live for something better 

'Cause You keep leading me 

Into the wide, wide world 

Did Moses want to turn back 

After crossing the Red Sea? 

I bet that he got nervous 

I wish that I could see 

'Cause I've got the shakes all over 

And I want to turn around 

But I'm twice as scared of missing 

The good that can be found 

It's a wide, wide world 

And I almost lost You in it 

It's a chance to live 

But it almost passed me by 

It's an open door 

To live for something better 

'Cause You keep leading me 

Into the wide, wide world 

'Cause You are past the borders 

Somewhere off the map 

Of what feels comfortable 

And I am so grateful for that 

It's adventure that we want 

And it's what we'll finally get 

There's nothing safe about You 

But sometimes I forget 

So lead me into the wide world 

Don't let me miss my chance 

'Cause I'll blink and it'll be over 

And I won't pass here again
