For Such A Time As This

I built my house here long side this mountain

this rugged mountain that stands so tall

I've had a good life above the lowlands

It's more than I asked for but less than I dreamed

I've often heard a voice call down to me

If you'd climb higher you'd find wonderous

things to see

But the way is steep and a storm may come

For such a time as this

Isn't much too great a risk

I've never flown from the edge of a cliff

never walked on the water

But if I turn away

How will I know what I have missed

Have I waited all of mylife

for such a time as this

I've been content to not ask those questions

that stir the rivers, that move the waves

the windless waters are so much more peaceful

they calm my spirit in silent song

I've often wondered what's eluding me

the yearning meant to free me from complacency

But the way is steep and a storm may come

For such a time as this

Isn't much too great a risk

I've never flown from the edge of a cliff

never walked on the water

But if I turn away

How will I know what I have missed

Have I waited all of mylife

for such a time as this

Sometimes the thrill of soaring had to begin with the fear of falling

For such a time as this

Isn't much too great a risk

I've never flown from the edge of a cliff

never walked on the water

But if I turn away

How will I know what I have missed

Have I waited all of mylife

for such a time as this
