Blind and simple fool
I built my greatness on lies
Bound my soul to the warmth of the sun
Bound my mind to my unconscious ego
I saw the horizon as my own
I felt the power to manipulate my destiny
I saw the earth as a stepping stone
The air as my own
I didn’t know what stumbling was
I didn’t know that pride could drown
Stepped off the edge
The edge of the unknown
Body rising
The heavens and I
For a moment were one
The heavens and I
For a moment were one
