Never get close to the flame
because the flame it can burn
Better not to play the game
than never to win at your turn
Better to be on your own
than trust a friend might betray
Better not follow a dream
they don't come true anyway
Play to win not scared to lose
Walk the path you choose
Fortune favours the brave
Risking it all again and again
Fortune favours the brave
Fall after fall they climb up again
Ignore the doubt and the fear
traitors to all you believe
Now that you're getting so near
still they just try to deceive
Taking it risk at a time
trying to live every day
Trying to know your own mind
never to care what they say
because the flame it can burn
Better not to play the game
than never to win at your turn
Better to be on your own
than trust a friend might betray
Better not follow a dream
they don't come true anyway
Play to win not scared to lose
Walk the path you choose
Fortune favours the brave
Risking it all again and again
Fortune favours the brave
Fall after fall they climb up again
Ignore the doubt and the fear
traitors to all you believe
Now that you're getting so near
still they just try to deceive
Taking it risk at a time
trying to live every day
Trying to know your own mind
never to care what they say
