I say to you,
We ask too little of life
We dream too small
We stand at open gateways
Frightened and held back,
We peek secretly through the
Safe openings of our cracked walls
Secure, but unfulfilled. So unfulfilled.
I say to you,
Leap, and the net will open for you,
Spread your arms wide
And cast away your fears,
Push through the cracks in the wall
And free the indomitable spirit.
I say to you,
Safe openings bind us, diminishing the spirit,
Dare to step into a larger arena
Discover life's treasures to be explored,
Change? Ah change, it challenges the soul.
I say to you,
Be not afraid. Take my hand with steady hold,
Fearlessly and undaunted, go-go-
Just leap and the net will open for you -
And find a brand new world.
