Nether Lands

High on this mountain
 The clouds down below
 I'm feeling so strong and alive
 From this rocky perch
 I'll continue to search
 For the wind
 And the snow
 And the sky
 I want a lover
 I want some friends
 And I want to live in the sun
 And I want to do all the things that I
 never have done.
 Sunny bright mornings
 And pale moonlit nights
 Keep me from feeling alone
 Now, I'm learning to fly
 And this freedom is like
 Nothing that I've ever known
 I've seen the bottom
 And I've been on top
 But mostly I've lived in between
 And where do you go
 When you get to the end of
 your dream?
 Off in the nether lands
 I heard a sound
 Like the beating of heavenly wings
 And deep in my brain
 I can hear a refrain
 Of my soul as she rises and sings
 Anthems to glory and
 Anthems to love and
 Hymns filled with early delight
 Like the songs that the darkness
 Composes to worship the light.
 Once in a vision
 I came on some woods
 And stood at a fork in the road
 My choices were clear
 Yet I froze with the fear
 Of not knowing which way to go
 One road was simple
 Acceptance of life
 The other road offered sweet peace
 When I made my decision
 My vision became my release.
