I decided to what I fear,
the voice of Robin Williams
was the only thing I could hear.
"Carpe diem." Love 'em and see 'em.

As I looked over the brink,
scared that I would sink,
I held my nose but never blinked.

Who cares what they think?
Would I flourish, live, become extinct?

Who cares if I cried out loud,
or if someone laughed out in the crowd?

And what happened in the end
Wait! we're not there yet.

Live the moment, take the bend.
Love em' and see 'em.

What else is it but a bet?
How much did he say he'd lend?
Is what's written really set?
Will I be rescued by a net?

All I know is what I know...
After all, only I was there,
grabbing time from its very hair.
Hanging from her wavy hair.

I remembered, this is no maths, no long division.
It is simply a decision, great to see you gotta go.
Thinking of you through rain, deserts and snow,
while flying high, while keeping it low.

What I know is all I know.
It's you - you knew - or are you new?
Either way I'm glad its so
Love to love ya, gotta flow.
