  • Valley's deep and the mountain's so high
    If you want to see God you've got to move on the other side
    You stand up there with your head in the clouds
    Don't try to fly you know you might not come down
    Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down

    Jesus came down from Heaven to earth
    The people said it was a virgin birth
    Jesus came down from Heaven to earth
    The people said it was a virgin birth
    The people said it was a virgin birth

    He told great stories of the Lord
    And said he was the savior of us all
    He told great stories of the Lord
    And said he was the savior of us all
    And said he was the savior of us all

    For this we killed him, nailed him up high
    He rose again as if to ask us why
    Then he ascended into the sky
    As if to say in God alone you soar
    As if to say in God, alone we fly

    Valley's deep and the mountain's so high
    If you want to see God you've got to move on the other side
    You stand up there with your head in the clouds
    Don't try to fly you know you might not come down
    Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down

    Valley's deep and the mountain's so high
    If you want to see God you've got to move on the other side
    You stand up there with your head in the clouds
    Don't try to fly you know you might not come down
    Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down Writer/s: John Lees
