Terminal Velocity

I fall Headed for a crushing death I scream to the wind so deaf I took the leap So faith please do keep I fall Into the atmosphere, But still gasping for air Seemingly fresh and clear, But so cold and unsure I fall Like a waterfall Drops With passion and power and rage Teardrops I fall Like a brick wall Out of control I fall My terminal velocity Cancelled out By my escape velocity Burning out I fall From the heavens where angels fly Where the doves play And I start to pray For the hawk not to prey I fall Hoping the clouds will catch my fall And the wind will run out of speed and stall I fall Upside-down and flipside up To hear prayers going up And my heartbeat to maximum rate I fall on my knees hoping to spare my feet I fall To imitate the wing It never flaps back And carrying this ring There’s no turning back I fall To see the beauty below Of blue and green and the white of snow And finally understand creation And appreciate your natural selection I fall For days into nights And weeks into months Without food and drink With my existence on the brink I fall Past this life and past the earth Into your life and into my rebirth I fall With your love, hoping, as my parachute Kissing the wind in my face as your substitute I see your smile reflected on the face of the moon In the midst of my depths I don't doubt you’ll be mine soon I fall Forever through Until nothing can carry me I fall Forever true Until only you can save me I fall Into you I fall For you
