I'm sitting on the edge of the Earth
It's a very different place you see
There's seas of forests thumping with prosperity
It's an exhilirating experience because I can see
I can see the sky untainted and uncovered
If you're quiet enough you'll hear it growing
Grass springing between your fingers
It almost hurts breathing in pure air
My lungs quenched with this crisp refreshment
I turn behind me and the outlook grim and dark
This scene is obviously more visually appealing
The sunlight sweetly kisses my skin
I have no fear of this pleasant jesture
I lay on the edge of the Earth with dangling feet
I want this end to be my beginning
This paradise of virgin soil and greenery
I feel as if here I can trascend beyond my limits
Become something more than what is behind me
And standing on this edge it seems a short drop
I make my descent off the edge of the Earth
But then I open my eyes...
