Standing on the diving board
I’m hoping to jump in.
No one else is scared to death
Not Matt or Josh or Em.

Not Spencer, he’s a natural.
He runs, then bombs away.
But here I stand knees shaking
I close my eyes and pray.

Come on, just let me do it.
And do it in a flash.
Just move, come on, start running
Make one big, awesome splash

But I just stand here frozen
I guess that would be fine
Except for kids complaining
‘Bout the hold up on the line

That’s fanning out behind me
I’m clogging up the works.
“Come on, let’s go, we’re waiting”
Is yelled by all the jerks

Okay, here goes, I’m moving
This day may be my last.
I’m falling to the water
And really falling fast.

But wait, that’s it, it’s over?
Well that was no big deal.
My fear has failed to stop me
Now pride is all I feel.

I’m laughing and I’m hooting
My grin’s from ear to ear.
I’m fearless now, a diver
The best darn diver here.

As I continue diving
Over and over all day
The only thing I’m thinking
Is one, two, bombs away.
