Standing on the edge now
Feeling pretty brave
Time for another round
A leap of faith
When it comes to the unknown
He ain't failed me yet
But doubt once again
Rears that ugly head
I said hey now
Need room to breathe
Heart's going thump thump thump
Hey now
Maybe count to three
Ok 1, 2, 3 now jump
Uh oh here I go
Uh oh leaving the ground
Uh oh here I go
Feeling pretty brave
But don't look down
(I said)
Uh oh here I go
Uh oh ready to fly
Uh oh here I go
I'm scared to death
But for the first time I'm alive
Here I am back again
Trying to find my nerve
Thought it'd get easier
It's just the second verse
Lord gotta gimme strength
Is it faith or fear
Do I take the leap
Or do I stay right here
I said Hey now
Need room to think
Heart's beating through my chest
Hey now
Maybe count to three
No push me better yet
Uh oh here I go
Uh oh leaving the ground
Uh oh here I go
Feeling pretty brave
But don't look down
(I said)
Uh oh here I go
Uh oh ready to fly
Uh oh here I go
I'm scared to death
But for the first time I'm alive
"Until you learn to trust you will not jump" I've always told myself
But from up here it's clear that trusting is the leap itself
Uh oh here I go
Uh oh leaving the ground
Uh oh here I go
Feeling pretty brave
But don't look down
(I said)
Uh oh here I go
Uh oh leaving the ground
Uh oh here I go
Feeling pretty brave
But don't look down
(I said)
Uh oh here I go
Uh oh ready to fly
Uh oh here I go
I'm scared to death
But for the first time I'm alive
Alive
