She moves her tiny baby closer to the ledge
The mother eagle knows it’s time for him to leave the nest
He is free falling discovering his wings
But as the rocks rise up to meet him
He feels his mother underneath him
Have you felt that God is slow to answer when you call
Have there been times you’ve doubted He was even there at all
You were free falling and God in heaven knows
The hardest part of loving is to let your children go
–
Sometimes you have to fall to find out who you are
Don’t be afraid to fall because you learn each time you try
Sometimes you have to fall to fly
lesser love would hold us, and try to keep us safe
But God knows when the time is right, to take His hands away
