[Verse 1] Happy is the man who stays awake Who weighs the road before each step he takes As evening settles, keep your heart aware Do not drift toward danger waiting there [Pre-Chorus] It starts with one small turn One place we choose to be One voice we let come near One door we fail to leave [Chorus] Turn away while you still can Guard your heart and make a stand Temptation grows by inches first Then pulls you farther than you planned Keep your eyes on what is right Choose the path that keeps you bright Happy is the watchful man Who leaves before the spark ignites [Verse 2] A young man walked beside that corner street Near the house where trouble made its seat He saw her there, but did not change his course He heard her words and yielded to their force [Pre-Chorus] A kiss, a claim, a pledge A story dressed as good Each step became a chain He stayed when he should have stood [Chorus] Turn away while you still can Guard your heart and make a stand Temptation grows by inches first Then pulls you farther than you planned Keep your eyes on what is right Choose the path that keeps you bright Happy is the watchful man Who leaves before the spark ignites [Instrumental] [Bridge] Do not test the edge of night Do not linger near the lie Wisdom speaks before the fall Courage answers, turns, and walks [Final Chorus] Turn away while you still can Guard your heart and make a stand Temptation grows by inches first But you can stop before the end Keep your eyes on what is right Choose the path that keeps you bright Happy is the watchful one Who leaves before the spark ignites [Outro] Happy is the one who watches Happy is the one who turns
