Test the Limits

[Verse 1]
I could tell you what you want to hear to hold you off another year
But I hope the truth finds you well
A common praise, a passing phase
Moving forward? Not today!
The limit's in the sky, but will you be reaching it tonight?

[Chorus]
Tonight you got to test the limits and tell yourself that
"I'm alive!" Just make that choice and draw that line tonight
Tonight you got to test the limits and tell yourself that
"I'm alive, and I'm not going anywhere!"

[Verse 2]
No chance to be free
No chance to soar in the sky
Your feet fixed to the ground
Desperation is what's weighing you down
Whether my strength be heaven sent
Or my own self-confidence
These days when I'm walking through a crowd
I don't have to hold my head down

[Pre-Chorus]
No more wasting time, burn bright like a star, ignite
The limit's in the sky but will you be reaching it tonight?

[Chorus]
Tonight you got to test the limits and tell yourself that
"I'm alive!" Just make that choice and draw that line tonight
Tonight you got to test the limits and tell yourself that
"I'm alive, and I'm not going anywhere!"

[Breakdown]
"Be a leader and never ever follow"
That's what my father, that's what he always told me
So with those words boldly spoken, he sent me down a long and hard road

[Bridge/Outro]
Shrug it off my shoulders, it was never meant for me
I won't waste my time in mediocrity
I won't waste my time in mediocrity
Tonight I'm alive
