You've got to be extra careful with
the things that are close and dearest to you

That you live and breathe and feel
They're all little miracles of wonder
just by themselves

You've got to be extra careful with
the things that are close and dearest to you
You know the closer you get to something
the tougher it is to see it

You know the closer you get to something
the tougher it is to see it
And I'll never take it for granted

It's fine to say "Never give up."
and "Keep chasing your dreams on."
But the more time you spend talking big
the less you get done with life.
I'll let that handful of courage in my heart
help and survive another day
And I'll never take it for granted
