The Leap of Faith

Here it goes, I'm ready ... I think
I take one step & then another
I leap off the ledge, life flashes before me.
Suddenly, I'm flying
Yeah that's right not falling, flying
This is the leap of faith
If we all believe we're going to die, obviously we will
But I believe that I still have life in me, so here I am
I don't know what to tell my parents
They'll be freaking out once I come back down
No words can explain why I did it, no words ever could
I don't care how it happened & I doubt I ever will
There are just things in life, that you've just gotta do
No amount of preparation can get you ready
You take one step, & then another
Then suddenly your free
No laws can control you
No rules to stop you from being who you are
That is, if you believe you can fly.
If you jump & deep down you know you're going to die
There will be no rush, no freedom.
Down you fall, chains go around your wrists
You sink into the current, & become a robot with all these people
The people who don't believe in life, who want to hide in the crowds.
They don't know how to live, how to move on.
They take a shaky step, then another
They fall & they have no one to catch them
Simply because they don't believe, no one can help them.
One day I'll take his hand & we'll run & leap
We'll fly forever, until we must go home maybe together, maybe apart
We'll believe in life & live it everyday
No laws, no rules, just us & a big blue sky
Watching others everyday make that leap
The leap into the unknown with belief that will carry them
Carry them into the sky where they fly, first to test their wings
Then they stay forever, that's all it takes
Just one simple leap of faith.
