It feels like my life is spinning in a whirl,
As I sit here alone on the edge of the world.
My mind is fading as I look over the edge.
The world behind me slips away while I sit on this ledge.
Looking down I wonder what's below there.
If I jumped off the edge no one would care.
The world would keep spinning around,
As I fall down, down, down.
But if I fall where will I go?
Will this be the end of my show?
I tried to let them in, I tried to let them know.
But when they looked inside, they were already letting go.
Feeling unaccepted,
And so rejected,
I walked along an empty street,
Sadly staring at my feet,
Not knowing where they'd lead me,
Maybe somewhere I could be free.
They lead this lonely girl,
To this place here at the edge of the world.
I look again down over the edge,
When all of a sudden a stranger sits beside me and says,
"Why are you sitting here on the edge?"
"If you slip, you'll fall and be dead."
"But if you believe in who you are and have the courage to try,
You'll jump and maybe you'll fly."
The next thing I knew my stranger vanished into thin air,
It's as though he was never really there.
But I know that he was because his words remained,
Forever embedded into my brain.
So I stood up and looked not down but up into the sky,
Ready to jump ready to fly.
So here I stand on the edge of the world,
No longer a sad and lonely girl.
I know who I am,
And I have the courage to be me.
I jumped.
I flew.
Finally I accepted me.
Finally I was free.
