It was a long fall                                   
When I took that leap
Thought I could dive
Always land on my feet

It was a long fall                                   
Stomach in my throat
Thought I could see
Would I sink or would I float?

You promised that you’d catch me           
I drempt that once you did
Dreams don’t always come true
And down the cliff I slid             

Free fall slows the mind and thickens the heart
Something you don’t know when you start

Learning to fly, the greatest task                                   
No one to answer whatever you ask

A story you cannot learn                       
It must be felt
To jump and fly
Without a belt

I jumped into your arms                       
I thought I saw you there
Lifted by the wind
Now I’m free in the air                       

Now I’ve settled on the ground           
It’s a good place for now
Look back at the sky
Look and wonder how

How you let me go                                   
How you begged to stay
How you were never there
All those dreams fade away

            Free fall slows the mind and thickens the heart           
            Something you don’t know when you start

Learning to fly, the greatest task                       
No one to answer whatever you ask

A story you cannot learn                       
It must be felt
To jump and fly
Without a belt

I jumped into your arms
I thought I saw you there
Lifted by the wind
Now I’m free in the air
