And in an instant I am part of the living

We’re at the edge of things now, and about to leave behind the safety of all we’ve known before. So turn the door and open a life of possibility… And enter the outside and the cobblestones and the sewn-up streets and the salty air and the possibility for further away. The outside and destinations unknown and my world blown open by chance, by this “chance” to change. And in an instant I’m part of the living, the free, the fateless, the “unmarked” and I can see me joining those seagulls and taking my pick of life, and led by airstream and breeze, my life made open by your hand in mine.
