Fall To Fly

She moves her tiny baby closer to the ledge
The mother eagle knows it's time for
Him to leave the nest
And he is free falling, discovering new wings
And as the rocks rise up to meet
Him he feels his mother underneath him

Sometimes you have to fall
To find out who you are
Don't be afraid to fail
Because you learn each time you try
Sometimes you have to fall to fly

Have you felt that God is slow
To answer when you call
Have there been times you doubted He
Was ever there at all
You've been free falling and
God in Heaven knows
The hardest part of loving is
To let your children go

A lesser love would always hold us
And try to keep us safe
But God knows when the time is
Right to take His hands away
