Cliff's Edge

Crying for help, the words fall silent in the screaming wind

HERE I STAND UPON A CLIFF SO HIGH

BEHIND ME BECKONS THE WRONGS I HAVE OUTRUN

THERE BELOW IS WHERE I SHALL LIE

BEFORE ME LIES THE BROKEN PATH NONE CAN WALK UPON

IF THERE WAS A WAY TO UNDO

A CARE GIVEN TO THE PAIN OF MY HEART

I WOULD THINK OF WAYS TO SAVE YOU

FROM THE PAIN OF FEELING, IF ANY, THAT SHALL TEAR APART

A STEP FORWARD BRINGS ME CLOSER

A STEP BACK TAKES ME FROM THE CHOICE

THE WIND AT MY BACK PUSHES ME TO FOREVER

THE CHAINS OF INDECISION SHAKE OUT MY VOICE

THE CARESS OF THE WIND ON MY FORM

THE FEELING OF DUTY THAT STAY MY FEET

THE SENSE OF FREEDOM HAS MY HEART WANTING TO PERFORM

THE CRAVING TO DANCE UPON THE WIND WITH A NEW BEAT

SHALL I TAKE THE PLUNGE?

TURN NEVERMORE TO THE EDGE

OR SHALL THIS FEELING BE EXPUNGED?

THEN, HERE AND NOW I MAKE A PLEDGE

LEAP NOT TILL THE END

STRUGGLE AND FIGHT TOOTH AND NAIL

EVEN IF NARY A FRIEND

USE THIS AS GROUNDS FOR A NEW TALE

LIVE 

LAUGH

LOVE 

FEEL

I AM MORE A LIVE 

NOW THAN BEFORE THAT LAST STEP.
