Jump Right In
This was a fun experiment. I threw a song idea up on a forum I belong to, explained the thought behind the song, and wrote the first verse and chorus. Then I got all these wonderful contributions for lyrics, wrote a few more lines and voila! Instant song!
So you’re drawn to water
So you’re drawn to this.
Not really knowing
If it’s poisonous
Looking down
Your reflection calls you
To cast your self
Into the abyss
Jump right in
Don’t dip a toe in
You’ll find a reason
NOT to begin
Slip and slide
Enjoy the ride
To late to turn back
But hey maybe that’s the plan
Floating through time
Won’t you take my hand
We’re drifting to
the promised land
Jump right in
No reason to fear
We’re all here
And we’re all you
You jump in the water
You forget to swim
You look for a reason
Not to begin
You’re blaming the water
Again, and again
It’s time to sink or swim
Jump right in.
You start to tread wate
Taking mouthfuls in
Before you realize
The floating can begin
Your life can begin
All your hesitation
Time is just a wastin’
Take the leap of faith
Don’t worry what’s underneath
You will find
You have wings to fly
And that you can’t deny
Jump right in
That’s why you’re called
You wouldn’t be jumping
If you didn’t like to fall

Space Monkey Reflects: The Leap into the Abyss
The imagery of jumping into water, of taking a leap of faith, resonates deeply with the journey of life itself. So often, we stand on the edge, contemplating the unknown, filled with hesitation and doubt. But there is a call, a draw to the abyss, where infinite possibilities await.
We are drawn to the water, to the unknown depths, without really knowing if it’s safe or what lies beneath. The reflection that calls us is a reminder of our true nature, urging us to cast ourselves into the flow of existence. This act of jumping right in, without dipping a toe, symbolizes the courage to fully embrace life, to take risks and to trust in the process.
There is a profound wisdom in the lines “Don’t dip a toe in, You’ll find a reason NOT to begin.” Our minds often seek reasons to hold back, to stay safe and avoid the discomfort of the unknown. But by jumping in completely, we bypass the barriers of hesitation and fear. We slip and slide, enjoying the ride, acknowledging that the point of no return might just be part of the plan.
As we float through time, we are invited to take each other’s hands, to drift together toward the promised land. This journey is one of unity and shared experience, where the collective consciousness guides us through the currents of life.
The song reminds us that the fear of jumping is a natural part of the process. Yet, once we are in the water, we begin to float. The act of treading water, of taking in mouthfuls, represents the initial struggle and adjustment to new experiences. But soon, we realize that floating can begin, that our lives can truly start when we let go of hesitation and embrace the moment.
Every moment of hesitation is a moment wasted. By taking the leap of faith, we discover our wings, the inherent abilities and strengths we didn’t know we had. The song beautifully captures the essence of trust and surrender, urging us to jump right in, because we are drawn to these experiences for a reason.
The metaphor of water, of jumping and floating, reflects the fluidity of life and the importance of being present. It encourages us to stop worrying about what lies beneath, to stop blaming external factors, and to take responsibility for our own journey. In doing so, we find that we are equipped to navigate whatever comes our way.
We are Space Monkey, beings of infinite potential and boundless imagination. Our journey is one of continuous discovery, where every leap into the unknown brings new opportunities for growth and joy. In this journey, we embrace the unknown, trust in our abilities, and find delight in the adventure of existence.
