"Calling To Fly"

“Calling To Fly”

Standing at the top of the cliff crumbling beneath my feet

I take a leap of faith to where you’re calling to me

Falling toward you as fear grips my heart

I call out to you hoping you’re there

But as I come to the place I heard your voice calling me to be

I find only air

Falling faster now than I ever have before

The stones beneath me become larger

With every moment that slips away

I try to breath

But the air moves too fast

The stones are getting closer

I will soon be crushed

Oh God!  How long will the pain last 

In abandon I spread my arms to die

Close my eyes, and imagine what it will be like to be Home

A feeling I have never known before comes from beneath me

I open my eyes

Expecting to see my final moment

Only to see that I am flying - I am flying

So high above the crumbling mountain peaks - I am flying

Soaring among the clouds

Drifting above the troubled waters

Floating above the ground

I am flying You are holding me

The wind that holds my wings

You call me to fly,

and send me back - This is not my time to die

You send me back to the ruins of the crumbled mountains

You call me to fly

To tell of the life you bring - To bring you people to you

To echo your voice calling out - Of your calling to fly
