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 flames
Who chance the sorrow and the shame
That always comes with getting burned
But you got to be tough
When consumed by desire
Cause its 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 taint the foe
We call them weak
Who are unable to resist
The slightest chance love might exist
And for that forsake it all
There's some help and
some giving,
walking a wire,
since it's not living if you
Stand outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried,
It is merely survived
Just standing outside the fire
There's this love that is burning
deep in my soul
causing the yearning to
get out of control
wanting to fly,
higher and higher
I can't abide
Standing outside the fire.
Standing outside the fire,
Standing outside the fire,
Life is not tried,
It's merely survived,
Just standing outside the fire.
Standing outside the fire.
Standing outside the fire.
Life is not tried,
Just merely survived
Just standing outside the fire,
Standing outside the fire·
