I stand on the edge looking down in
So dark, so deep, nowhere to begin
I step back away, I’d rather just hide
Than have to go on to the unknown inside
I could turn my back and just stay here
It’s nothing exciting, but nothing to fear
But I take the first step down into the dark
Feeling for a rung, a ladder, a mark
I stumble at first, I slip and I stall
But I know if I keep holding on, I won’t fall
I find my footing – now I can see
What all the darkness was hiding from me
For you have to step into the darkness before
Your eyes can adjust to see the next door
