The door was left open
Hopefully for me
The tawny sunset visible
My chance to be free
Committed to creeping closely carefully
I made it to the door
Looking out upon the world
I saw something I hadn't before
As the sun dipped below the horizon
The world seemed to pause
I grasped how high the doorway was
And how close I was to death's claws
I felt no fear standing there
Just a sense of awe
I looked without a single thought
Just soaked in what I saw
I saw the open field
I saw the empty trees
There wasn't a single soul
Just the empty breeze
I considered jumping
Trying my hardest to fly
Feeling the wind on my face
Touching the empty sky
I lifted up my foot
Hanging it over the edge
If I jumped now
Would I fall from this ledge?
There was always a chance
That I would know to fly
I wanted to believe
But why would it be I?
I let the feeling hold me
The warmth of freedoms embrace
I felt its arms around me
Though I couldn't see a face
The truth seemed to show me
The world's wonderful grace
Though I could never fly
I could climb the staircase
