It’s like jumping off the edge
And hoping to fly
Feeling the exuberant rush
Of being up so high
And just for a moment
Feeling free in the air
Almost forgetting to breath
Without a worry or care
But then falling down
There’s nothing below
Looking for a safety net
With only water down low
Falling faster and faster
As all control is lost
Tears looking up
At the remembered cost
Hitting the water
It all comes crashing down
Ending up too deep
Preparing to drown
That hope and anticipation
During that great leap
Didn’t turn to steady joy
No it wasn’t to keep
How could this something
That felt so right
Have led to this place
Full of heartbreak and fright
Looking back in wonder
Was it really worth it all
To take that last jump
And risk such great a fall
