I have climbed the cliff To gain a chance for praise Alas, the times I know too well Are ones where I have fallen The air itself had parted beneath me Now to the cold, unwelcoming ground My body is left to lay But something sparked in my writhing mind "Take the leap once more" Brushing off the fear and dust My ascent began anew Before a word was uttered The ground was far beneath my feet Left behind with those worthless doubts Today, I took flight And when the wind was no longer Beneath my frail, young wings Smiling faces met my eyes Warmed my heart And caught me

Leap Of Faith
I have climbed the cliff To gain a chance for praise Alas, the times I know too well Are ones where I have fallen The air itself had parted beneath me Now to the cold, unwelcoming ground My body is left to lay But something sparked in my writhing mind "Take the leap once more" Brushing off the fear and dust My ascent began anew Before a word was uttered The ground was far beneath my feet Left behind with those worthless doubts Today, I took flight And when the wind was no longer Beneath my frail, young wings Smiling faces met my eyes Warmed my heart And caught me
Take a leap of faith, speak out and change the world. The chance to fly in joy is worth the risk of failure, for failure does not last forever. Today I talked to people, shared my thoughts, and for once I was not humiliated for it. I wish it was always this way.
