Hey there, stranger.
Do you know the way back to the path?
I am lost in the wild with the heart of a child.
I have wandered so long
from the place that I come from.
Won't you show me the way?
So she took me to the river and told me to jump in.
And I said, "No! The river is much too swiftly flowing.
What if I go under?
I can't help but wonder...
will I breathe the river into me?"
But can we truly ever be ready
to take a leap of faith?
And she took me to the edge and said, "This is it.
You must go, or never know what you missed.
And you can't stay forever
lingering on the precipice.
That's just the way it is.
That's just the way."
