ON THE EDGE OF THE PRECIPICE
IT'S A LONG WAY DOWN
AND THERE'S NO ONE AROUND
TO CATCH ME IF I FALL
FOR JUST A MOMENT THINK OF THIS
WHICH DO YOU PREFER
TO GO UP OR DOWN
LIKE STAIRS FOR INSTANCE
LIKE WHEN CLIMBING A TREE
IT SEEMS EASIER TO ME
TO CLIMB UP THAN DOWN
SAME WITH STAIRS I'VE FOUND
IF ON THE EDGE OF THE PRECIPICE
YOU JUST TURN AROUND
YOU MAY NOT BE BOUND
TO FALL AT ALL
