I have never shot for the stars before For fear of missing everything But now I find the stars in my hand And think that aiming high might be more than asking for failure
I have rarely dug too deeply before For fear of missing the best cavern But now I find that I missed more By traveling so shallowly
I never swam so freely before Suffocating in the air of a million poolsides and beaches I never knew how deep joy could run Until I tested the depth of water with both feet
When I finally let go I found I have as many shots as there are stars I can travel deeply in many caves without scarcity I can breathe better in the water than I ever did on land
When I finally let go, I found That there is truer safety in reckless abandon Than can ever be found within solitary caution
