Standing on a mountain, I look way down below
Nothing but emptiness.
A low dark fall, a plunge into nothingness
How did I get on top of this place? Who brought me here?
And why?
I stand, hands outstretched, a bird ready to fly
I raise one foot off the ground....
Go fly,
Fly away into the wide blue clouded checkered skies ahead
Into the vastness of the starry universe
Go - jump, take the plunge, let go of the handrail.
Make a move, take the other step; the next step.
Forward - to higher ground.
Why do I hesitate to let go?
Go, do it now, it's now or never
I fear the fall - the daunting depths of darkness
The crash, the hurt, the pain.
Of the dizzying heights, which might hurt
If I fly too high
Oh save me;
I take a deep breath, one step forward and
Off I go
I flutter my wings and open my scared eyes
I'm away, yes I am away
My heart leaps in joy, my body fills with
The clean air of satisfaction
Of contentment, of letting go.
I am flying; yes I am
Ah freedom, freedom, where have you been,
My life?
