Soar

Listen, child to me. Here’s a story now you see.
About a women long ago, in the Bible you must know.
She was a woman just like me, had a child just like you.
She played with him and laughed with him, put shoes upon his feet.
But days turned into years, and she knew a time was done.
With tear filled eyes she said to him, “Go,”, with tear filled eyes she said to him, “Go.”

And soar my child and when you fly keep going
Take my love so deep, take it now and be God’s child.
And soar my child and when you fly keep going
Take my love so deep, take it now and be God’s child.

Time has come for me, to release you now you see.
To the Father up above, in to His hands of love.

I’ll still play with you and laugh with you, put shoes upon your feet.
But deep inside I know where your true strength comes from.
With tear-filled eyes I say to you “Go”, with tear-filled eyes I say to you “Go”

And soar my child and when you fly keep going
Take my love so deep, take it now and be God’s child.
And soar my child and when you fly keep going
Take my love so deep, take it now and be God’s child.

I give you up, I give you up, each day I keep giving
I’m holding out my hands, standing here so proud to watch you soar.

And soar my child and when you fly keep going
Take my love so deep, take it now and be God’s child.
And soar my child and when you fly keep going
Take my love so deep, take it now and be God’s child.

Take my love so deep, take it now and be God’s child.
