i’m really being awakened to see

the gate is wide, the road is paved in moderation. The crowd is kind and quick to pull me in. Well welcome to the middle ground, you’re safe and sound and until now it’s where I’ve been…

Well, it’s been fear that ties me down to everything, but it’s been love

Your love that cuts the strings so I can finally say

So long status quo, I think I just let go. You make me want to be brave. The way it always was, is no longer good enough. You make me want to be brave.

I am small, and I speak when I’m spoken to, but I am willing to risk it all. I say Your name, just Your name and I’m ready to jump, even ready to fall…

Why did I take this vow of compromise? Why did I try to keep it all inside?

So long status quo, I think I just let go, You make me want to be brave. The way it always was, is no longer good enough, you make me want to be brave. I’ve never known a fire that didn’t begin with a flame. Every storm will start with just a drop of rain. But if You believe in me, well, that changes everything. 

So long, I’m gone.
