The Comfort Zone

I used to have a comfort zone

Where I knew I couldn't fail,

The same four walls of busywork

We're really more like a jail

I longed so much to do the things

I'd never done before,

But I stayed inside my comfort zone

And paced the same old floor

I said it didn't matter

That I wasn't doing much,

I said I didn't care for things

Like diamonds or furs and such

I claimed to be so busy

With the things inside my zone,

But deep inside I longed for

Something special of my own.

I couldn't let my life go by

Just watching others win,

I held my breath and stepped outside

To let the change begin

I took a step and with new strength

I'd never felt before,

I kissed my comfort zone goodbye

And closed and locked the door

If you are in a comfort zone

Afraid to venture out,

Remember that all winners

Whereat one time filled with doubt

A step or two and words of praise

Can make your dreams come true

Greet your future with a smile,

Success is there for you!
