Grounded
Your burden seems too much to bear
Hounded by the memories that hold you there
Cold feet has wrapped itself around your heart
And anger is slowly tearing you apart

How can you fly
When you won't release what's holding you down?
How can you soar
If you won't let your feet get off the ground?

You got to mount up on the Wings of an eagle
You got to soar on the winds of His love
Fly in the strength of His Spirit
Flow in the power of His Word
Of His Word
Of His Word

Ooh-ooh...

Said, I'm airborne
I've learned to fly
I've learned to soar
In the presence of the one, true and mighty Lord

Hosanna, my voice will join in Holy praise
Hallelujah, with heart-filled thanks
My hands I'll raise
Said, I'm gonna fly
There's nothing here that can hold me down
I'm gonna soar as the Spirit lifts me off the ground

I'm gonna mount up on the Wings of an eagle
And I'm gonna soar on the winds of His love
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Fly in the strength of His Spirit
And I'm gonna flow in the power of His Word
Of His Word, of His Word, yeah

Mount up on the Wings of an eagle
Soar on the winds of His love
(Of His love, of His Spirit)
And I'm gonna fly
And in the strength of His Spirit
I'm gonna flow
And in the power of His Word
Of His Word, of His Word
