Leap of Faith

We all tread paths of knowledge

with crossroads where we doubt

were we are offered answears

on sign posts tall and stout

and each of us will pick our way

throughout our living day

and none of us will stop

and stay

All knowledge leads to questions

the roads all carry on

to the cliffs of deep uncertainty

where we all stare on

beyond

I watch as people leap in faith

I watch them as they fall

I watch them cling to their beliefs

I watch them, one and all

And as they dangle from their roots

I stand there on the edge

The wind is howling omniosly

and I to ignorance do pledge

And as I feel a pang of jealosy

to those people down below

I watch a man kick and scream

Yelling like they weigh him down

"Let go! Let go! Let go!"

I feel, the world is much too dark

grab hold a good size rock

Send it down, game and set

the world could brighten yet
