So here we all are
Together once again,
To mourn the loss
Of another great friend
From the first jump we make
We accept the risk
We understand the dangers
We are read the list
After that first jump
We find we are hooked
We lived though the first one
The second jump is booked
The first jump becomes five
Five becomes many
Jumping becomes our lives
And it takes every penny
Then one day it happens
We lose our first friend
We now search our souls
Will this be the end?
I have been here before
My answer is still true
Jumping is my life
It is what I love to do
If we live to be 100
Hiding behind four walls
Have we accomplished anything?
Have we really lived at all?
If my times comes
And I leave here too soon
I pray I will be doing
What I truly love to do
I hope those still here
Will have a party in my name
I hope they will remember
I knew the risks of the game
I hope they will see
That my life was great
I lived life to the fullest
And had a smile on my face
Every story has a conclusion
Every song comes to an end
We will all meet in heaven
We will be together again.
