Edge of the Sky

 

 

On the edge of possible doom

Downhill...post plunge....over

We... shot out of the galactic womb

Think of us as sleek land rovers

 

A hundred miles an hour, ice and snow

Sun and shadow... staving off a crash landing

Where we'll stop no one knows

The sector we are forever scanning

 

Over the edge, our mantra repeating

Next phase of a life in motion perpetual

All our fears we are defeating

This is real, no sitting playing games.... virtual

 

Over the river and beyond the edge

Across the planet, joining in the sky

No more thinking bout jumping off the ledge

Off and running, flying.... alive

 

Those of us who risk the ride

Are the study group in the overall plan

We got no ego, no overblown pride

We signed up for this with the rest of the clan

 

Those of us on the sky's edge, bleeding

are here to show you the way to travel

The edges, the air, the open spaces... receding

Reconnecting the thread as it unravels

 

One day you will stare down over the side

Don your wings as we teach you to fly

Let go of the fear, the foolish pride

Join with us, here....at the edge of the sky
