A track about getting beyond your natural barriers, and taking that leap of faith. Why do we do it? Because we have to.

lyrics

INTENSE MONSOONAL SUMMER RAIN
PELTS THE SURFACE ON AN AZURE SEA
DUELING RAINBOWS DANCE ATOP GREEN HILLS
WAVES CRASH ACROSS A DESERTED SHORE
LIKE A SERPENT THRUSTING OUT HIS TOUNGE
I TAKE A WHIFF OF THE SALTY AIR
AN AMULET FOR STRENGTH I ADJUST MY PACK
AND ASCEND THE OCRE TRAIL
CHORUS
TELL ME, WHY IS IT WRITTEN THAT ONLY BIRDS CAN FLY?
TOES PERCHED ON THE EDGE OF A CRUMBLING MIGHTY CLIFF
THE UPDRAFT STINGS MY FACE AND FORCES ME TO SMILE
MY BEATING HEART EXPLODES, AND I CLOSE MY EYES

BEYOND THE RUSTED SHOT UP KAPU SIGN
I SLASH THE TANGLED JUNGLE VINES
THE SUSPENSION BRIDGE ( THE OLD ONES WAYS )
IGNORING THE NEW ZIP LINE
THEY WERE THROWN FROM THE PEAK, THEIR SPIRITS TIED
FOR THE ANGRY GODS TO SEE
NOW I SAIL THRU THE AIR OF MY OWN FREE WILL
THE SACRED WATERS CLEANSING ME
BRIDGE
HELD DOWN LONG ENOUGH A FEAR BUILDS IN THE BRAIN
THE POUNDING IN YOUR EARS BEGINS TO ROAR
WHICH WAY IS UP INSIDE THE GLOOMY OCEANS' WOMB
BURST THRU THE SURFACE FEAR ABANDONED DOWN BELOW

WITH A LONG SHOT ZOOM TOURISTS FILM MY FLIGHT
YOU TUBE POSTED FOR ALL TO SEE
BUT THEY CANT STEAL THE ESSENCE OF MY SOUL
OR EVER REALLY UNDERSTAND ME
IF YOUR WERE TO ASK A PEARL DIVER HOW
DO YOU HOLD YOUR BREATH SO LONG?
SHE'D SLOWLY UNFOLD A PROTECTING HAND
TO REVEAL A PERFECT SPHERE.
