Fear of flying

Remembering those eagles wings

Crested mountains I have viewed

I want to fly there once again

Mounting up,Ý my youth renewed.

To rise above my circumstance

To free me from the pit

Instead ofÝ lofting towards the clouds

Trembling,Ý here I sit

For even though I have them,

I am still afraid to fly

My fear of heights binds me to earth

And keeps me from the sky

You gave me wings to fly with

Give me grace to soar

Give me wind to glide on

Horizons to explore!

Open my eyes so I can see

The vistasÝ in my view

Take me over the mountains

And let me fly with you.

Let me glide on currents

That take me ever higher

Calm my fear of the unknown

Deepen my desire

You gave me wings to fly with

Give me grace to soar

Give me wind to glide on

Horizons to explore

Open my eyes so I can see

The vistasÝ in my view

Take me over the mountains

And let me fly with you.
