Sometimes I find myself atop
that same old icy hill.
Knowing I shouldn't go to the edge,
I go just to feel the thrill.
While standing and just looking
I know down deep inside
There is nothing I can do now
I'm going for the whole ride.
I really know that I want to stop
but my feet just loose their grip
as long as I know I am going
I might as well enjoy the trip.
I get to the bottom
and the trip is all done.
But while it lasted
I thought I was having fun
Sitting at the bottom
I'm so full of fright
Then just for a moment
I seem to find the light
I get to my feet and
begin the long upward walk
and I hear God's voice say,
" would you like to talk".
Now as I shyly listen
God speaks this message clearly
"Even when your at the bottom
I still love you so dearly".
It takes a long time
to get back to the top
Such a long hard journey,
but I know that I can't stop
God tells me I should know
that the bottom I will dredge
whenever I look for the thrill
of standing on the edge.
I scream at God
"Please take the ice from the hill".
Lovingly God whispers back to me
"That would destroy your free will".
