Title:
“One More Leap”
Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1 – Am, F, C, G)
Here I stand, on the edge of my dreams,
Caught between truth and what it seems,
Staring at the sky, just wondering why,
Oh, why the world can be so mean.
(Chorus – F, C, G)
But it’s one more leap, one more leap to make,
I’ve got to take the chance, for my own sake,
To find the life that’s been waiting,
Beyond the fears, I’ve been creating.
(Verse 2 – Am, F, C, G)
In the mirror, a stranger looks back at me,
A reflection of who I once used to be,
A smile hides the tears, the hopes and the fears,
Of a journey that’s yet to be free.
(Chorus – F, C, G)
It’s one more leap, one more leap to take,
To cross the line, to make or break,
To seize the day, to find my way,
Beyond the world, I’ve had to fake.
