A textbook existance
reaches its end
at the edge of a gorge
with my family and friends
a voice draws me on
says there's more for me there
but my friends becon me
to my old easy chair
CHORUS
Standing at the edge
on the verge of true life
I look over the ledge
how could it be so high
I catch my breath
can't find the courage to try
I know if I
could take just
one step I
could fly
V2
As I settle in
my complacency
begins welling up
like bile in me
once again from the drop
I hear the voice
it offers new vision
from a bittersweet choice
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Leave it all
come take my hand
don't look back
they won't understand
breathe in deep
the sweetest air
it's just one step
you're almost there
CHORUS
