Let me fall
Let me climb
There’s a moment when fear and dreams must collide
Someone I am is waiting for courage
The one I want
The one I will become will catch me
So, let me fall
If I must fall
I won’t heed your warnings
I won’t hear them
All I ask
All I need
Let me open whichever door I might open
Let me fall
And if I fall
All the feelings may or may not die
I will dance so freely
Holding onto no one
You can hold me only if you too will fall
Away from all
These useless fears and chains

Someone I am is waiting for courage

So, let me fall
If I must fall
I won’t heed your warnings
I won’t hear them
Let me fall
If I fall
There’s no reason
To miss this one chance
This perfect moment
Just let me fall

I am so glad you shared this song with me, Neil! I LOVE it. So much of it rings true. Oddly enough, I often fear certainty more than uncertainty in falling. The line “and if I fall my feelings may or may not die”. I think the biggest fear is when feelings do die. When dreams become soaked in reality, I think they can oftentimes feel watered down. The chase can be such an inspiring place to live – I often think that’s why we suffer from destination addiction. Always needing the next big thing. But like you mentioned in the comment section of my post – love is the unconditional granting of beingness. Beingness is hard for me when it can feel so mundane. Anyways, I really am mumbling now 😉 Thank you for this share!!

The one I want / The one I will become – will catch me.
That is the line for me, expressing how who you are not yet will become the who who saves yourself. That is the forward momentum of faith in my understanding of the universe.
Thank you – again – for your bright as light post that led me back to this song.

What a remarkable song! “Someone I am is waiting for courage”—this line stuck out to me. The person I was ten years ago would be so proud of the me that’s stepping up right now. How will I continue to show courage? How much more wisdom/love/openness/beingness can I bring forth? It’s a wonderful thing to consider.
Also, thank you for leading me to read Heather’s post. It’s incredible and I think it’s something I will read over and over. So much there!

May we all be nurtured most by what we give away.
Be of good heart and faith, courage will attend itself. Least so it seems to me. Thank you for following the thread.
