Diving Board
Words and Music by Michael Silverstone
©2013 Mr. Silverstone Music Publishing/ASCAP

Standing on the diving board,
looking at the water
Now I don’t even think that I’m gonna jump in
I don’t remember why I ever thought it
was such a good idea
something musta changed in my mind. . .
. . .about that

There's a breeze that’s blowing
it’s putting ripples in the water
I got my arms together, rehearsing the
way it will go
But everytime I get to where the jumping is supposed to start
I freeze
and watch the water for a while


[Chorus]
Oh. . .
I’m willing to be falling
I’m willing to be falling
where the falling wants to go
Oh. . .
I’m willing to be falling
I’m willing to be falling
right here and right now

Blue and white like in the sky
--a sparkling surface of water
is waiting like a lake of ice to receive my leaping
There is no preparation for the moment
you give over your body to the earth
to be taken by the water
as you’re falling like you never fell before

[Chorus]
I’m willing to be falling
I’m willing to be falling
where the falling wants to go
Oh. . .
I’m willing to be falling
I’m willing to be falling
right now
