I am standing on the edge
This is it
Brisk, breezy, chills rack my spine
Here I am
There’s no road going back
Things will never be the same
This human life inside of me
Growing, stretching, breathing
From here, I can only go forward
Reaching my foot into the open abyss
Stretching my toes in the freedom of space
I can’t take the easy way out
There is no easy way out
This baby is alive
This baby deserves life
As much as I do
I see this blank space before me
So foggy, unclear
But we leap into it
We leap together
