lyrics

I had it coming, we all knew I’d try
To learn what to do with these wings not made to fly
Are they for hiding or purposed at all?
If I climb too high, would they even help me fall?

When his face shines in, they rise to my cheeks
If I appear filthy, these things bow to my feet
When I’m uncovered, with wingspan displayed
I’m left feeling naked and asking why I was made

The whole earth is filled with his questions
The whole earth is filled with his questions

Eyes are for seeing, but here, I am blind
Are answers before me or was I left behind
Forgotten, abandoned, are these even real?
If I am broken, can my breaking also heal?

The whole earth is filled with his questions
The whole earth is filled with his questions
The whole earth is filled with his questions
The whole earth is filled with his questions

I can defy how I was made
I can fly, I can escape
I can defy how I was made
I can fly, I can escape

I don’t fear my fate, I’m not afraid to try
I don’t need to wait, I know that I can fly
If he tests my faith, his limits, I’ll defy
Stop me, I’ll escape and see you from the sky

The whole earth is filled with his questions
The whole earth is filled with his questions
The whole earth is filled with his questions
The whole earth is filled with his questions

I don’t fear my fate, I’m not afraid to try
I don’t need to wait, I know that I can fly
If he tests my faith, his limits, I’ll defy
Stop me, I’ll escape and see you from the sky
