Taking the Dive
Falling fast is not my style, but I'm already looking over the edge
And the longer I peer at the ground below,
the more I look forward to taking the step.
My usual self would stay close to the wall, clinging to what I fear.
But this person that's coming now to the front
is not nearly as afraid to let go.
Let go of anger, let go of regret, let go of jealousy, pain.
Plunge into the light that's now in my eyes,
and remember what it's like to smile.
And the longer I peer at the ground below,
the more I look forward to taking the step.
My usual self would stay close to the wall, clinging to what I fear.
But this person that's coming now to the front
is not nearly as afraid to let go.
Let go of anger, let go of regret, let go of jealousy, pain.
Plunge into the light that's now in my eyes,
and remember what it's like to smile.
