He spent all his days in a tower looking over the oceanside He learned from his father, the Maker, with admiring eyes open wide Watching the birds as they soared through the sky He longed for their freedom, till one passing by Flew up to the window and said Come fly away with me, I can show you the world The world at your feet Come fly away with me, I can give you the sky And make you the king Climb higher Climb higher There ain't no coming down There ain't no coming down He stepped into darkness from light to rescue those that He treasured He wandered the desert alone to heed the will of His Father Watching the kingdoms He knew He must save The tempter of old that leads nations astray Crept up right beside Him and said Come fly away with me, I can grant you the world And all of its kings Come fly away with me, I can give you the sky If you'll fall at my feet Climb higher Climb higher There ain't no coming down There ain't no coming down
