On this mountain I stand,
On the edge, looking down.
I want to jump,
I can't.

I want to feel the air
Caressing my entire body
I want to feel the rush
Of flying.

With the wind whistling
In my ears, weightlessness
And complete control reigning
Over me.

I want to jump
And not fall, I want
To fly away, free.
I can't.
