When I was young the smallest trick of light could catch my eye
Then life was new and every new day I thought that I could fly

I believed in what I hoped for
And I hoped in things unseen
I had wings and dreams could soar
I just don't feel like flying anymore

When the stars threw down their spears
Watered Heaven with their tears
Before words were spoken
Before eternity

Chorus:
Dear Father, I need you
Your strength my heart to mend
I want to fly higher
Every new day again

When I was small, the furthest I could reach was not so high
Then, I thought the world was so much smaller feeling I could fly

Through distant deeps and skies
Behind infinity, below the face of Heaven
He stoops to create me

Chorus

Man versus himself, man versus machine
Man versus the world, mankind versus me
The struggles go on, the wisdom I lack
The burdens keep piling up on my back
So hard to breathe, to take the next step
The mountains is high, I wait in the depths
Yearning for grace, and hoping for peace
Dear God, increase!

Healing hands of God
Have mercy on our unclean souls once again
Jesus Christ
Light of the world burning bright
Within our hearts forever
Freedom means love without condition
Without a beginning or an end
Here's my heart
Let it be forever Yours
Only you can make every new day seem so new
