lyrics

standing ready at the edge
sometimes a snap decision’s the best kind of medicine
slowly gather just what matters in

and the big sky is reaching down
this giddy exultation a thousand feet above the ground
vision rising, grip is tightening, lean into the wind

climbing a thermal, hard to describe
finding the balance in the glide
hang and abide

leave possession and travel light
make each calculation with a cool and careless mind
doubt receding, clouds are breathing in

call it freedom, float in space
the strength that emptiness will give with each renewed embrace
currents shifting, air is whistling, listen to the wind

climbing a thermal, hard to describe
finding the balance in the glide
hang and abide
