Listen do you hear that frantic beat
A nervous bird fluttering about
In an iron cage forged in the heat
With the very threads of fear and doubt.
This is the edge, I’m trembling do you see
And with brute force, the winds do blow
As I stand on the edge of this cliff quite steep
“Jump”, the winds seem to whisper so.
Shut out the world, looked inwards
What do you say heart, I whispered to myself
Are you ready now, love you can run towards
Do tell are you brave enough, daring enough?
Mind said, “I’ve got your six dear one
Should you lose your wings, fall and break
Don’t be scared, I’ll fix you right back up
So run to him, follow your heart brave one”
Closing my eyes, clenching my fists
Drawing the deepest breath I could inhale
Mustered the courage, I could not resist
No longer shall I hide, no longer am I frail.
And on I plunged, a hundred feet below
To the arms of the deep, the fearsome o’lo”
Not knowing what destiny has in store
Not afraid or asking for more.
Oh look I’m still breathing, doing just fine
Wounds, heartbreak are old pals of mine
The sky is the limit, I can reach that high
For the warrior within me will not die.
Who knows what lurks or lies ahead
Our hearts just know what feels right for now
So I’ll wear this love like a crown on my head
Unconditionally, for you right here and now.
