Niagara

Standing at the edge of this cliff
Gravity being what it is
I'm afraid that I might stumble
'Cause I've never been this high

Baby, it just has to be what it is
And asking me not to love you
Is like asking Niagara not to fall
I can't worry with my heart, what if?

Alis volat propriis - She flies with her own wings, even on broken wings.

All I’m doing is swimming against the tide.

There’s no stopping this turmoil inside.

Sometimes in the midst of it, I wanna run and hide.

Living life from day to day, trying to learn amidst the pain.

Trying to find the higher ground;

Always moving upward, never looking down.

I’ve been running, hiding;

Scared but trying,

To make sense out of the madness,

Rise above the clamor.

There’s an answer, somewhere in the confusion.

Don’t want to buy into the delusion.

I’m sick of the heart contusions.

Not my problem,

Not my turn to fix it;

Somebody has to say nix it.

Leave behind the darkness,

Walk out of the storm unharmed.

Learn from others’ mistakes,

No more time wasted to deliberate;

This is not my fate-

To be a product of the same.

I will be better,

I won’t let it consume me,

Won’t let it ruin me,

I’m gonna take my wings and fly away.
