Barnum movie - Out There lyrics

Song by Jim Dale<br /><br>

Staying home, living day by day<br>

May be safe, but it can't be duller.<br>

Seeing things only black and gray<br>

When the world is alive with color.<br>

Doing just as your neighbors do<br>

May be wise, but it ain't so clever.<br>

Every man has a dream or two<br>

Let 'em go and they're gone forever.<br>

<br>

Out there somewhere just out of sight.<br>

There's a world that's blazing with light.<br>

Ain't each man alive got the right?<br>

To stray just a mite from the straight and narrow,<br>

Shoot through the night like a flaming arrow.<br>

<br>

Turning back should the highway bend<br>

Turning down every chance you're given.<br>

Takes the risk out of life, but friend<br>

How the hell can you call that livin'?<br>

Staying put in a pumpkin shell<br>

Is a bleak and depressing habit.<br>

There's a ring on the carousel<br>

And it's yours if you'll only grab it.<br>

<br>

Out there somewhere just down the line.<br>

Lies a world of glory and shine.<br>

One square foot there's gotta be mine.<br>

Once in his life every man decides<br>

Once when he stands where the road divides<br>

Once on a hill as the morning grows Once if he will he can see those..<br>

<br>

Fires glow, flags streaming<br>

Spires grow, towers gleaming<br>

<br>

In a land where the dawn is clear<br>

In a sky where the sun's forever.<br>

On a plain where it's spring all year<br>

And the dark of the night is never.<br>

<br>

Somewhere out there just out of sight<br>

In that world that's shining with light.<br>

Ain't each man alive got the right?<br>

Once in his life to forget the past.<br>

Once in his life to behold at last.<br>

With his own two eyes what<br>

Lies..Out..There!<br>

<br>
