Standing Outside The Fire    (SNW 605)   Thorsten Hubmann   (Garth Brooks)

 

OPENER
CIRCLE LEFT:

We call them cool … those hearts that have no scars to show

The ones that never do let go

LEFT ALLEMANDE - DO SA DO with your own

LEFT ALLEMANDE the Corner - WEAVE around THE RING

Standing outside the fire

Standing outside the fire

Life is not tried it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire

 

 

FIGURE

The HEADS PROMENADE you go HALFWAY ‘round the ring

Rock in and SQUARE THRU FOUR

Go all the way - RIGHT AND LEFT THRU and turn the girl

VEER to the LEFT and FERRIS WHEEL around ‘em and go

SQUARE THRU go THREE QUARTER ‘long

SWING with the Girl and PROMENADE

Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire

 

 

MIDDLE BREAK
SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE:  

There's this love that is burning - deep in my soul 
Constantly yearning - to get out of control 
Wanting to fly - higher and higher 
I can't abide - ALLEMANDE LEFT and WEAVE

Standing outside the fire

Standing outside the fire

Life is not tried it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire

 

 

CLOSER
SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE:  

Standing outside the fire

Standing outside the fire 
Life is not tried it is merely survived 
If you're standing outside the fire

 - ALLEMANDE LEFT and WEAVE THE RING

Standing outside the fire

Standing outside the fire 
Life is not tried it is merely survived 
If you're standing outside the fire

 

 TAG Swing the girl: Life is not tried, it is merely survived

                                                 – If you're stand – ing – outside the – fi – re!

 

 

Original Lyrics:

 

We call them cool 
Those hearts that have no scars to show 
The ones that never do let go 
And risk the tables being turned

Standing outside the fire 
Standing outside the fire 
Life is not tried it is merely survived 
If you're standing outside the fire

 
We call them fools 
Who have to dance within the flame 
Who chance the sorrow and the shame 
That always comes with getting burned 

We call them strong 
Those who can face this world alone 
Who seem to get by on their own 
Those who will never take the fall 

We call them weak 
Who are unable to resist 
The slightest chance love might exist 
And for that forsake it all

But you got to be tough when consumed by desire 
'Cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire

They're so hell bent on giving, walking a wire 
Convinced it's not living if you stand outside the fire 

There's this love that is burning deep in my soul 
Constantly yearning to get out of control 
Wanting to fly higher and higher 
I can't abide standing outside the fire
