The high diving board

Things look different when the moment is upon you standing on the edge just a step away the height more lofty the vast expanse of water even more vast the possibility of drowning that much more real There is much to fear but oh, fear even more the turning away You think you can take the coward's way out and be safe from all danger But that will never be Free yourself from that illusion and the utter despair that will follow when you fail For I tell you, you shall survive And more than that, you will be a soul transformed Or don't jump and never know what it means to fly to fall to freeze time and live only for the moment to be taken by the power and then to hold that power in your hand to feel the inspiring hope the exhilarating rush the sweet, sweet freedom that can only be had by risking everything This is what it is to believe in love
