Leap of Faith


"Take a leap of faith with him."

 

I never really understood what it meant

To trust the wrath of a hurricane

Or have it love you absolutely

All contained in one being

I assume it's like playing with fire --

"Take that leap."

-- Selling your soul

Being dragged back up

And having it pieced back together.

 

If the wrath of a hurricane could love me absolutely,

Why then I need search further

For other distractions?

 

"Take a leap of faith with him."

But I can't.

 

Maybe that's why we can't fly -- take that leap:

Because we're scared of falling

When we're already

On the ground.
