From the recording The Sun Coming In
Lyrics
People thought they were off their rockers
They’d never get that airplane off the ground
‘Till one morning out in Kittyhawk in that Carolina sky
She flew 12 seconds before she came back down
Then people thought the sky was the limit
That going to the moon could not be done
But when the Eagle landed that brave space cowboy
Took one small step and proved everybody wrong
Out there dancing on a wire
Out there running through the fire
They ain’t afraid to fall they live to risk it all
If you’re gonna do a lot you gotta be a little out there
A seamstress from Montgomery Alabama
Stayed seated on a bus and took a stand
That brazen little move caused a revolution
She broke every boundary when she wouldn’t budge and inch
So if you think that you won't make a difference
Or what you're trying to prove is too bizarre
Remember it’s the dreamers those do or die believers
That wind up making history being who they are
Out there bustin’ down the fences
Out there damn the consequences
Let’s live to risk it all
And don’t be afraid to fall
If we’re gonna do a lot
We gotta be a little out there
