I stand near the edge
The sea is roaring below
Adventure awaits a step beyond
If I’ll just let myself go
I got myself some wings
Melted wax and gull feathers
Don’t fly too close to the sun they say
Or in stormy weather
If there are no clouds or rain
Then the sun is bound to shine
So I know that I’ll be waiting forever
If I’m waiting for the right time
But as I watch the waves
And feel the wind on my back
I hear the birds call to me
And I know it’s courage I lack
My heart beats anxiously
This is my chance to fly
I have the strength to do it-
But do I have the courage to try?
I’ve always said I’d rather have loved and lost
then never loved at all
But truth be told that’s much easier to say
when you’re not about to fall
