Teach Me How To Fly

I want to touch the stars and moon
          Take my hand, hold me up 
               teach me how to fly
          Give me my wings
               take me to the Heavens above
          where tears that are shed
               are like diamonds in the sky

          Where peace is strong
              and faith is long
          Teach me how to use my wings
              where God is the wind in my feathers
          that makes me soar - makes me fly
              abandoning my all in the air

          Speak me into motion
              along God's skies and oceans
          Please God… 
              teach me how to fly
