Scott Harter Closer
Closer to the edge these days,
Staring out across the oasis.
I feel the sand beneath my feet,
I hear the wind, it screams at me.
Closer to letting go,
I’m far away from the life I’ve known.
The fog is gone and I can clearly see
Just how far down the fog will be.
But I’m not afraid to fly
And my arms are open wide,
‘cause you know better than I do,
I’m flying over, getting closer to you.
Older than I’ve ever been,
We’re young enough to start again.
I face this world I’m living in,
All afraid, today’s the day I shed my skin.
‘cause I’m not afraid to fly
And my arms are open wide,
And you know better than I do
I’m flying over, getting closer to you.
We’ll rise against the smaller things
And lose ourselves and live like kings at heart.
Gravity can’t hold me down,
I feel my feet lift off the ground.
I’m not afraid to fly
My arms are open wide,
And you know better and now I know better, too
I’m getting closer, I’m getting closer to you.
