Edge of this World

~~~~I stand at the edge of this world in awe
Of the depth and the height of life's journey
From tingling delight to pain deep and raw
It's a grand tug of war to feel worthy

Of the depth and the height of life's journey
From deep ocean floor to heaven's sweet light
It's a grand tug of war to feel worthy
And the voice is mine to fight or take flight

From deep ocean floor to heaven's sweet light
The gift is the chance and choice to live
And the voice is mine to fight or take flight
Push becomes pull as life takes and life gives

The gift is the chance and the choice to live
When the scope and spectrum change on a dime
Push becomes pull as life takes and life gives
Even the broken wing mends in due time

When the scope and spectrum change on a dime
From tingling delight to pain deep and raw
Even the broken wing mends in due time
I stand at the edge of this world in awe
