I was much too scared to look over the edge
The cavernous drop had my stomach inside and out
My hands were clammy and I felt my whole world fall away
Along with the day that I'm so blessed to say
That after lookin' down that ridge line heart attack
Brought my conscience full circle-
And now I'm back
With my eyes newly awakened
Back in touch with my soul
Shivered off all the doubt  
Applied some heat to that cold
Like the fresh dew that sleeps on the grass every time
The sun wakes up and reassures that we're fine
Maybe sometimes we have to fall down once in a while
So we can get back up and learn all the steps over again.

So here I am,
Stumbling
Shaky-and-Bleary eyed
Like a new born child, seeing the whole world wild
I'm reborn again brother
And doing it my way.
One step at a time.
Every day by day.
