Out On A Limb
You must go out on a limb if you want the fruit
The dangerous position rewards the pursuit
You must go out on a limb if you want the hope
The dangerous position rewards the wide scope
You must go out on a limb if you want the gain
The dangerous position rewards the campaign
You must go out on a limb if you want the dance
The dangerous position rewards the romance
You must go out on a limb if you want the love
The dangerous position rewards the above
You must go out on a limb if you want the best
The dangerous position rewards the contest
You must go out on a limb if you want the world
The dangerous position rewards the unfurled
