All rise.
And be prepared to fall.
For the art of free fall
is the hardest of all.

Learn the perfect technique
of hitting the ground
as hard as a stone,
without hurting your head
or breaking a bone.

Learn not to complain,
but be thankful instead.
Your bones are in place
and you still have your head.

Now you're stronger and wiser
and ready to go
on the next twisted road
that you've yet to know.

In silence.
Smooth like a feather-
without making a sound.

In silence rise up,
there's no need to fight.
Breathe some air in your lungs
and recharge from the light.

You may feel all bright
and shiny and new.
It's perfectly fine-
you've become the next you.

Your vision is sharper,
you feel through thin air.
You can hear the sun shine
through the tips of your hair.

In silence walk on,
as there's nothing to tell
when you're humble and wise
and the fall's done you well.

Moreover,
I think you already know
that this is by far
not the end of the show.

You'll rise and you'll fall
in different ways.
Sometimes you'll count years,
sometimes only days...

But you'll learn your way
and won't bother at all-
you might live to the day
when there is no more fall!

You'll rise one last time
and reach outer space,
where you'll find yourself floating
with pure inner grace.

All rise.
And be prepared to grow.
For the art of self growth
is the greatest you'll know.
