Fear of Falling Lyrics

Long ago when the winter snow had drifted high

We would climb the baseball bleachers, my friend and I

Stare down from the top rail on the blanket of snow

Eyes wide and daring each other to be the first to go

And the fear of fallin' so clear in my eye

And the fear of feeling I was afraid to try

And the fear of missing a chance to fly

Fear of falling

Many times I've stood and felt that same fear I knew

At the edge of something I wasn't sure I could do

When your heart is pounding and you're doubting yourself

Surprise to find you're really just like everyone else

And the fear of fallin' is the reason you climb

Fear of finding you've run out of time

Fear of gravity that weighs on your mind

The fear of falling

The fear of falling is a gift to us all

How it keeps us creeping back to the edge of the wall

And tonight I'm climbing as the snow's falling down

Another leap of faith into the snow covered ground
