SOARING

I don't want to just survive
I want to rise up and thrive
I want to fly like a majestic eagle
I want to soar and feel alive
No mountain will be too high
No valley will be too deep
The depth won't steal my will
I will reascend to the highest peak

Nothing will tip me over
No calamity will knock me down
When my life is a circus
I will glide above the clowns
Survival is an anecdotal trick
It only teaches you to withstand
I want to be a over-comer
So I can rewrite the plan

No!  I never ever want to just survive
I want to revel in God's glory
I want to thrive and feel alive
I will never take easy shelter
I will soar above life's rain
Above the clouds lies sunshine
It lights the Heaven I seek to gain
