Remember the first night we sat down together? looking for something we both needed

Everything was so frightening back then, perched on the edge of my future, scared to jump

Cast that fear away, a small voice said, I'd never heard that voice before, it was beautiful

Over and over the voice said it's message, until it roared in my head,  until I braced my self, and jumped

Violent was my fall to the bottom, hitting every ledge & smashing into every outcropping, but it was to late to get back on that cliffs edge where I hid for so long

Eventually, I hit the ground. bruised and ******, healing would be slow

Rising up from my slumped position I realized the power of the fall, on the cliff side I had no where to go, but here?

You have to take the leap, so you can finally take steps forward
