Walking On Water

You look around, staring back at you

Another wave of doubt, will it pull you under? You wonder

What if I'm overtaken? What if I never make it?

What if no one's there? Will You hear my prayer?

Time and time again, I've doubted myself.

What if, I really don't get what I want?

What if, someone else gets it, and I'm left all alone,

Out in the cold?

I have big dreams.

Bigger than me.

I dream to do the impossible.

I dream to take on the unknown.

Sometimes it just seems so far away,

So unobtainable.

Even when I tell anyone about what I want to do,

I feel my knees quake.

I know that there are so many ways that I would fail,

That I would fall and get hurt.

I'm scared.

When you take that first step into the unknown

You know that He won't let you go

But then I know,

If I don't take on what I want to do,

I'll regret it for the rest of my life.

I know I won't ever live it down.

I also know that there are people who believe in me,

And will support me through it all.

So what are you waiting for? What do you have to lose?

Your insecurities, they try to hold to you

But you know you're made for more, so don't be afraid to move

Your faith is all it takes, and you can walk on the water, too

So then I chose to walk that path,

Filled with cobblestones and sharp knives.

I let go of that fear, and jumped.

What's impossible, anyway?

There really isn't such a thing.

It's just a reason for someone not to try.

So get out, and let your fear fall to the ground

No time to waste, don't wait, and don't you turn around and miss out

Everything you were made for, I know you're not sure

So you play it safe, you try to run away

Despite choosing,

I'd still go, "Wait, is this right? What, am I crazy? This is dangerous, shouldn't I be stopping?"

"Shouldn't I turn back?"

What if I do fail?

But what if I don't?

How will I know, unless I keep going?

I nearly gave up.

But then I realised that if I did, I wouldn't know what lay ahead.

I'd miss out on what was waiting for me at the end of this difficult road.

The only way to know, is to try.

Step out, even when it's storming

Step out, even when you're broken

Step out, even when your heart is telling you

Telling you to give up

Step out, when your hope is stolen

Step out, you can't see where you're going

You don't have to be afraid

So what are you waiting for?

So really, there isn't anything for me to wait for.

Except for myself,

To take the chance and leap.

I'm still chasing my dreams,

Still stumbling, falling and getting hurt along the way.

But I'm not stopping till I've achieved them.

I've taken on a new belief,

The belief that nothing in this world is impossible.

Just difficult.
