 * "I Dare You"

Hello, let me introduce you to The characters in the show One says yes, one says no Decide - which voice in your head you can keep alive

Even in madness, I know you still believe Paint me on canvas so I become What you could never be

I dare you to tell me to walk through fire Wear my soul and call me a liar I dare you to tell me to walk through fire I dare you to tell me I dare you to

Hello, are you still chasing The memories in shadows Some stay young, some grow old Come alive, there are thoughts unclear You can never hide

in madness, I know you still believe Paint me on canvas so I become What you could never be

I dare you to tell me to walk through fire Wear my soul and call me a liar I dare you to tell me to walk through fire I dare you to tell

Hello... I dare you to tell me to walk through fire Wear my soul and call me a liar I dare you to tell me to walk through fire I dare you to tell me I dare you to Hello... Hello... I dare you to tell me I dare you to I dare you to tell me I dare you to

**Are you asking yourself how this song relates to Jim? Look below and you'll find the answers:** In this part of the song, it relates to the book by Jim's thoughts of runaway. If you think about it, Jim must have had some negative thoughts passing in his mind before he made the final decision to runaway. Although it never said in the book, he had a choice to runaway and to get caught or to take the chance and run with it. Jim made the choice to run, hoping that in the end it would be the right one. Here the song says "Even through madness, I know you still believe." This relates to the time in the book where Huck accidentally offended Jim. Jim got over it pretty quickly because he knew that it was just a mistake. Jim still trusted Huck through it all. They made a plan together, which in the end lead them to being free and happy. This section of the song really applies to Jim, because he has more to worry about than anyone else. If he were to get caught he'd be treated worse then the King, Duke, or Huck would have been if they were to have gotten caught. What Jim basically said without saying it, was that he would go through Hell to get to the freedom he deserved and he wasn't giving up till it was given to him. Jim was separated from his family through slavery. This part of the song relates to that because he has memories of them and he's working towards freedom so he can be with them again. Jim doesn't want to be that missing puzzle piece in his families lives. So therefore, throughout this song it shows the what Jim is fighting for from beginning to end. He's not willing to give up or lose trust in anyone who's willing to help him because he knows that each step is getting him closer and closer to freedom.
