Momentum will carry you forward once you let it loose!
"Ain't nothing gonna break my stride
Nobody gonna slow me down, oh, no
I've got to keep on moving
Ain't nothing gonna break my stride
I'm running and I won't touch ground, oh, no
I've got to keep on moving..."

How often do we let others hold us down when we need to fly? How often do we do it to ourselves?
And how often are we afraid to soar?
adaptation:
"Come to the edge, Life said.
They said: We are afraid.
Come to the edge, Life said.
They came.
Life gently pushed them...
And They flew."
