I see…
I see in front of me
A beautiful building made of stone
And trees and flowers surround its form
Waterfalls…
On each side, adorn its walls
And form a perfect symmetry
a marriage of engineering and Divinely crafted beauty.
And in my ear
A familiar voice I hear
Nonchalant to this fragility of ours
racing past the highest of stars
Because we’re flying!
My God I am flying, round and round this sight so mystifying
And the higher I go, the more I know
that this plane must land, by my hand even so.
And then
And only then is exactly when
(After such a course flown so aimlessly)
That I become aware that the pilot here is me.
Oh, but how…
Is there no way to escape the “now?”
10,000 meters up and reasons why
I always fail before I try.
But maybe they’ll never know
Because I will never let show
that my testament of safety
Is written with my own self-inflicted inability
And grace appears
In the form of waking amid my fears.
And all I can do is cry,
and ask God why
Why couldn’t I land that plane?

I let out the sails of my heart
Here I am, here You are

Oh, Lord set me free
