There is nowhere to turn, I have nowhere to go
They've burned down the bridges and boarded up the doors
So I'll make my escape with feathers, wax and string
Fly far from this place, 'till there's nothing left to see
It's so far, down to the ground
What awaits for me? I long for things unseen Your warnings fail
I would rather die then never try
Now watch me climb with the wind at my feet The clouds become the ground
I sense the folly in my ways
It weighs me down, so far down These wings can't hold me up!
But these wings cannot fail me! They have taken me this far
Father! You have blessed me with these hands, though they are calloused and
They are scarred You have blessed me with these hands But they are
Destined to let me down
Dare I heed the warnings that you've given?
If I fail then I fail with my pride
As the salt water fills my lungs, I finally see
That I've forsaken Your will, and replaced it with my own selfish needs
But oh, my God, won't you let me fall from the sky, embraced in flames?
I've done this to myself
These wings were built with purpose, but I have used them for my own
These hands were made to lift you up so high, instead they tear you down
If I'm to drown into the depths then let me go For a second chance,
I'll start my life over My lord I'll give, with love, my everything
