Struck from an altitude, I've never viewed the earth like this before
The white beauty of the distant clouds outlined by the blue sky fills me deeply
Where am I right now, this is not the earth I've seen from the ground
Is this heaven, a place that's completely surround

The clouds sit still like white caps that have been stopped in time, perfection
Is this God's will?
Is this what I've been denying?
Is what I needed to see to prove to myself that I've been lying?
Always questions

He always gives the questions that I have to search for the answers to
Maybe that is his path for me, a scavenger hunt of a life because he made me so curious about everything from the start
I guess this time I should answer him or have something to show for what has been put in front of me, the emotions put inside of me

Frozen waves of sky catch my eye, the white caps rage in pause
I have no words for this sort of beauty
I could try and try, compare it all to your face but I'm sorry it would not describe the scene, it would not do it justice
I wonder what it's like to be on the ground right now, stuck to ideals, places, and people  that have no meaning, stuck to them with an unearthly believing
I feel like I need to declare, I need to declare what's been on my mind since God pulled my heart back in this air
I can't keep living like I am, can't keep acting without a care

I need to be better than I have
I need to be full of positivity
I need to be full of love
I need to be what I've always been so afraid of
I need to be

Maybe then love will peak it's head
Maybe then I can grace someone's life with more than those who have come before
Maybe then I can serve my life in a manner that I should've been from the start
Maybe then I can finally find peace within
Maybe then I can

If I remove the maybes, the doubt from those sentences precious how differently will things look?

Love will peak it's head
I can grace someone's life with more than those who have come before
I can serve my life in a manner that I should've been from the start
I can finally find peace within
I can

I can be who I have always needed
I can take this moment of life where God has shown me that beauty with which he held in his own

It's amazing, this journey I'm on...
I've met multiple people speaking to me about God and thoughts that I once felt so long ago
I think it's time I quit ignoring that knock on the door that has been happening for so long
I can find that faith again
I can find my way back to the light
I can see it
I can find the peace
I can
