        On the Edge

        Waiting till the time is right,
        Waiting till it's safe to go,
        Maybe waiting for a moment of clear sight
        But you'll never know.
        You're stood on the top of a ski-slope
        A-wondering how.
        But don't wait till you're ready
        For you never will be ready
        And the moment is now.

        Trying to dispel your fear,
        Working hard to understand:
        Maybe something you've been wanting for long years,
        But it's in your hands.
        If you thought that 'courageous' meant 'fearless',
        You simply don't know.
        If you wait till you're fearless,
        Then you never will be fearless,
        And you never will go.

        Going though the fear is strong,
        Going with your knees a-quake,
        Maybe something you've been wanting for so long,
        And never dared take.
        You don't have to get yourself ready,
        Or conquer your fear:
        Just welcome the moment,
        And say yes to the moment,
        And the moment is here.
