And we were waiting
For something that would never be
A time and place not real
The hope kept us from stepping from the edge

And the wind would howl
Cold gusts would keep us wake
The stars would watch from above
And we let ourselves dream
We would bathe in the sun
And kneel before Nature
We would ask for her to keep us forever
And those who kept the forests
Would keep us from being alone

And we were waiting
For something that would never be
She felt us leaving
And the weight was lifted

The sky was falling
And men fled to the depths
Waiting for scars to heal
And hands grasping one another

And we were waiting
For something that would never be
A place that we did not deserve
We chose to step from the edge
We chose death
And she thanked us
