When I was young, the smallest trick of light When I was young, the smallest trick of light Could catch my eye Could catch my eye Then life was new and every new day Then life was new and every new day I thought that I could fly I thought that I could fly
I believed in what I hoped for I believed in what I hoped for, And I hoped in things unseen And I hoped in things unseen I had wings and dreams could soar I had wings and dreams could soar, I just don't feel like flying anymore I just don't feel like flying anymore
When the stars threw down their spears When the stars threw down their spears Watered Heaven with their tears Watered Heaven with their tears Before words were spoken Before words were spoken Before eternity Before eternity
Dear Father, I need You Dear Father, I need You, Your strength my heart to mend Your strength my heart to mend I want to fly higher I want to fly higher Every new day again Every new day again
When I was small, the furthest I could reach When I was small, the furthest I could reach Was not so high Was not so high Then I thought the world was so much smaller Then I thought the world was so much smaller, Feeling I could fly Feeling I could fly

Man versus himself Man versus himself Man versus machine Man versus machine Man versus the world Man versus the world Mankind versus me Mankind versus me The struggles go on The struggles go on The wisdom I lack The wisdom I lack The burdens keep piling The burdens keep piling Up on my back Up on my back So hard to breathe So hard to breathe To take the next step To take the next step The mountain is high The mountain is high I wade in the depths I wade in the depths Yearning for grace Yearning for grace And hoping for peace And hoping for peace Dear God increase Dear God increase
