Make the jump when the coast is clear Oh, don't upset The balance of your nature. Reach the level above your fears. Can you feel the movement? Hear the untamed melody. Tell it like it is and was and Always should be-yeah! Like it is and was, and always should be. Is and was, and always should be. Is and was, and always should be. Is and was, and always should be.
