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
