lyrics

Pretend I’m not a coward but a wizened sage
Still clinging to this mountain in a bygone age
You have to scale these frozen cliffs to get to me
If you had just one inquiry, what would it be?

Chorus:
I used to laugh at fear of heights, but now I know
The glory of this splendor gives me vertigo
And where I used to be is now so far below
Remind me how to fly like I did long ago

Forever fell to kiss the ground that loved me so
When all I ever knew was just one way to go
Another fall is deadly with so much at stake
A challenge that I relish and a chance I take

(Chorus)

Bridge:
History to leave behind
Mystery to read my mind
Freedom brings no guarantee
That’s the thrill of levity

Plunge headlong into paradise and dare to see
While riding on the currents of uncertainty
And nothing holds me up, oh gods, what have I done?
But nothing drags me down, fly straight into the sun

(Chorus)

It’s time to rise and stare my demons in the eye
Stretch out my arms, expose my heart, and upward fly
One giant leap of faith and now my lot is cast
Ascend to taste your heartbeat as you hold me fast

(Double chorus)
