And low we stand
at the bottom of the cliff
it looks beautiful
the sands tries to swallow me toes
as i test my weight in increments
moments like this
don't come often enough
the salty surf
it crawls across the beach and nips at my foot
moments like this
don't come often enough
But still
I want to be at the top of the cliff
The water can't touch me there
nor the sand
I want to be alone
Atop the world, alone
In this body I will live
and in it I will die
It just takes so much to give
and even though I don't want to try
I'm going to scale that cliff
and leave the water behind
and the sand
Up I will go
and either way
If I make it to the top
I will be away from the sea
and I will be happy
but if I fall off on the journey
I won't worry about the sea
I'll make sure I hit hard
So again
in this body I live
and in this body I will die
And upwards I strive
But I hope you don't cry
You don't have a reason to
I'm leaving the sea
And the sand
And I won't come back
