I can see myself falling  -
As I stare over the cliff's edge.
Without a scream or holler -
Just a whimper as I descend.
Falling faster and farther -
My life passes before my eyes.
Too many disturbing sights -
Causing my empty soul to cry.

So little does it matter -
If I were to leave this world behind.
I dangle one foot over -
Contemplating my so called life.
I stop and think a moment -
Of all the time I've spent with you.
Wondering does it matter -
Was any of it really true?

I just can't stop this feeling -
The pain keeps tearing me apart.
Wouldn't it be easier To jump - 
and end this broken heart?
I breathe and pull my foot back -
And plant it firmly on the ground.
I back away from the edge -
And slowly turn myself around.

And then as I step away -
I see a dove fly overhead.
I wonder where it's going - 
As it's song sings in my head.
With an olive branch in beak - 
It's peace so overwhelming.
It's song of eternal love - 
Takes hold of my soul and guides me.

It leads me to a future -
To a place in another time.
A place where there is no sorrow - 
No torment in my mind.
Far away from the agony - 
Of the day out on the cliff's edge.
My life's now free from misery -
Because a dove flew overhead.
