1.  I am not ready to feel the fingers of your fire
I’m scared I’ll just get burned.
I am not ready for the crucible of love
or maybe I don’t want to learn.

* How do I take this leap of faith?  
How do I take this leap of faith for your love?
When I still struggle with what I know is true,
How do I take this leap of faith for you?

2.  No, I’m not ready to balance on the wire
if I can’t see the net below.
I’ll climb up cliffs,  I’ll scale the mountains,
but I won’t jump unless I know...

* How do I take this leap of faith?  
How do I take this leap of faith for your love?
When I still struggle with what I know is true,
How do I take this leap of faith for you?

 Stand on the edge without a sound.
Step of the ledge...I won’t look down.

* How do I take this leap of faith?  
How do I take this leap of faith for your love?
When I still struggle with what I know is true,
How do I take this leap of faith for you?

John got bored playing the bass and is now a guitar virtuoso. I told him I wanted to do an acoustic flavored song like Toad the Wet Sprocket do so well. I sang, he played, and here's the song.
