Live Fearlessly

For Josh, written at Joshua Tree national park

Verse 1:
You should be here, you'd light up the room
You'd be on the dance floor with your crazy moves
We'd talk about our past adventures and you'd make your niece laugh loud
As she's throwing flowers down the aisle, you'd be standing up there proud
When your little sister says, "I do"
Here and now we remember you

Chorus:
We'll never forget: you had the biggest grin
No matter the stakes, you were all in
You were diving in, you were flying high
You were racing past on a motorcycle ride
But you'd always stop to lend a hand
Cause that's the kind of friend we had
A fearless life, an intense love
That's the man we're so proud of

Verse 2:
You'd talk a lot, and knew some things
But what we remember most was the way you lived:
Love intensely, don't hold back
Offer forgiveness when you can
Dream big, and work hard
That's the only way to make it far
Live fearlessly and take some risks
From you, we remember this

Chorus

Bridge:
You know the craziest pl-a-a-a-ans make the best stories
And without some pa-a-a-a-ain, there's no glory (there's no glory)

Love intensely, don't hold back
Offer forgiveness when you can
Live fearlessly and take some risks
From you, we remember this
