The Jump 

Until you jump you do not know 

How far you will fall or how high you will go 

It’s painful to stay, but It’s scary to leave 

One thing is sure, you can no longer live in between 

Straddling two worlds worked for a while 

But now you long for the faith of a child 

You consider each scenario with unyielding precision 

And lo, there really is only one decision 

You step to the ledge with fire and zeal 

You reconnect to spirit and now you feel 

Death and life now hang in the balance 

Time to muster up all of your talents 

All forces come together in your moment 

No turning back and no way to relent 

You make the leap and overcome your fear 

Passion fueled as you embark on a new frontier 

Never to return to what you once knew 

Faith and courage will now see you through
