I am standing on the edge
My search has halted
Even when I thought I had faltered…

I am standing on the edge
Feeling mystified by the view
Of what is before me…

I see color
I see rain
I feel no more pain
I am sure things will never be the same…

I am standing on the edge
Seeing you for the first time
I see a bunch of fireflies…
I feel your presence
I feel your soul
I some how feel and know
Your spirit
Now I am truly present…

Now there is Clarity
Now there is No Fear
Now there is Time
Now there is Strength
Now there is Friendship
Now there is True Happiness
Now there is Unconditional Love

Now I am at peace…

I am standing on the edge
Feeling complete
Never again
Will I feel no peace
Never again
Will I feel alone

I am standing on the edge
Not looking down

I am standing on the edge
Looking straight ahead
For the first time
Seeing all of my direction stones…

Now I am given a series of visions
Difficult to believe
But it is easy all at the same time…

We are standing on the edge
Side by side

What comes to my mind,
Freedom
What comes to my hands,
Unity as one

What comes to my heart,
Strength
What comes to my soul,
Love

I am standing on the edge
Ready to be lifted
Ready to fly
Ready to give
Ready to love

I am standing on the edge
Ready
To imagine
Ready
To see the light
Ready
To just be

Free.
