Isabel (She takes the risk)

About the work

ISABEL (She takes the risk)

To live is a risk
Every minute that you breathe
Every step that you take

To love is a risk
To get fused, to loose
To choose wrong, to awake


And Isabel, she knows
And shows me that it´s like this.
She says “Like someone says in the film Raging Bull
If you win you win, and if you loose you still win”


She takes the risk
Against all expectations
She takes the risk
Without any hesitation

She goes for it
Experiences
No matter what people say


She takes the risk...
Against all expectations
She takes the risk
Without any hesitation

“That´s what life´s about” she says
while she opens another bottle of wine

Isabel loves travelling by train
In front of her this guy
That she´s never seen before

When he closes his eyes
She can shamelessly stare
At his beautiful face

And just before she leaves the train
She tells him “Hey, you´re fascinating me”.
And while she stuffs her business card in his pocket she proposes:
“What about a walk along the river?”



She takes the risk
Against all expectations
She takes the risk
Without any hesitation

She goes for it
Experiences
No matter what people say


She takes the risk...
Against all expectations
She takes the risk
Without any hesitation

“That´s what life´s about” she says
while she opens another bottle of wine


Walking between heaven and earth
She stays within herself
Lightly touching people

Isabel takes one risk a day (at least)
She never says “I can´t”
She just starts and sees what happens

“Perfection is not my goal”
She whispers lifting her eyes up from her book.
Virginia Woolf wrote “No need to hurry, no need to sparkle,
no need to be anybody but oneself.”


She takes the risk
Against all expectations
She takes the risk
Without any hesitation

She flows through life
Follows her heart
Looking other people straight in the eyes


She takes the risk...
Against all expectations
She takes the risk
Without any hesitation

“That´s what life´s about” she says
while she opens another bottle of wine

And I say “Isabel are you sure
That this is the way you wanna live”
She says “Like Franklin said
There will be sleeping enough in the grave”

There will be sleeping enough in the grave

Isabel
