I climbed because I wished to fly
I left my safe but rocky place
And lifted myself high
But when I looked
I saw above
And so I left to climb
I climbed because I wished to fly
I started out to find you
But only saw myself
And so I left my arms and legs
And lifted myself high
I saw above
And so much more
And so I left to climb
I climbed because I wished to fly
over rocks
my senses leaving
my crawling striving mind
I glimpsed you (far ahead of me)
leaping over trees
I glanced above
and saw much more
And so I left to climb
I climbed because I wished to fly
You gave me gifts
of little wings
And crowns of silver sky
Then dropped me down
to teach me why
And see you from inside
I looked within
And saw much more (of darkness)
And I was left to dive
But if I fall
Will I then fall
To You or to my death?


Will I stand and stare here long?
I cannot cold and dying
I love you more than certainty
And see you from inside
And so I wait
to make my leap
To fall from empty highs
I cannot know
What I will find
But Trust in Love my Life with You
I'll fall because I wish to fly
