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 dang'rous side won out  'Cause You knew what I wanted  I wanted to get out    Chorus:  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    Chorus    '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 fin'lly 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
