Above the world I gaze below
Look at the plunge I’m about to take
Doubting the reason that brought me here
Was it all a big mistake?
Step by step I come closer
Until there’s no platform left to stand
On the edge I try not to imagine myself
Splattered into a thousand pieces trying to land
Torn, I look beneath me
And memorize all I have to lose
Immobilized with fear
I search for an excuse to use
I hear the voice I know so well
The man waiting so patiently
He begs me to step forward, to take the risk
To let him love me
It’s too late now, I’ve come too far
Though I’ve stood here many times before
Ready to throw it all away
I backed down, hesitant and unsure
I find the nerve to peer over
He urges and persists
I reach deep inside for courage
I know that I can do this
In an instant I force myself
Diving fast and head first
I’m falling through the crisp air
And praying I won’t get hurt
The moment comes and I await
To crash through the murky depths
Or to be caught by the man I love
And in my heart, I have no regrets |
