Leap of Faith

Verse 1

They say take one step forward

Or take a leap of faith

But they never mention the bruises

And the scrapes along the way

They talk about the fairytale ending

But you never hear the end

You just hear “they lived happily ever after”

Again and again

That’s what we expect as kids

When we finally grow

But the truth is

Love doesn’t always go that way

⸻

Chorus

They say take one step forward

Or take a leap of faith

But they never mention the bruises

And the scrapes we make

The pain of the past will push past you

You’ll get scared of making plans

You’ll say what’s the point

If it all ends the same?

⸻

Verse 2

You’ll meet the one

Who says all the right things

But his eyes wander the streets

Then there’s the one

Who says he’s so sure you’re the one

But commitment feels too deep

Then there’s the one

Who doesn’t always say the right thing

But he tries and he tries

Maybe he’s your second chance

Or a new soul ready to learn

⸻

Bridge

Maybe growing up

Is realizing there’s no perfect ending

Just people trying

And choosing who stays

Maybe love isn’t the fairytale

We thought it would be

Maybe it’s bruised and imperfect

But still worth the leap of faith
