the deep chasm yawns wide before me, like a dark smile
as I stand, face upturned, arms spread wide
yearning to cast myself into it's depths
into the rocky tombs below

yet, as I throw myself from the crumbling ledge
your love lifts me, and sets my soul free

I fly
I'm free
I taste the wind

I feel the rush of fear as the breeze grabs my breath
as I fly, carried on the updrafts, far and away
I feel the push of the air on my skin
as I waft into the horizon
learning to fly, with only your love as my wings

Hey, take me with you...
At least give me ride out of here!

And after-drunkeness of soul
Succeeds the glory of the bowl -
An idle longing night and day
To dream my very life away
