Publishing & Lyrics
There is a calling
You’ve placed upon me
I’ve felt it all my life
VERSE 2
Step out with both feet
Walk on the water
Leave my past behind
PRE CHORUS 1
I wanna follow, follow Your heart
In the face of the unknown
I wanna trust You, trust who You are
When I let go, I’m halfway home
CHORUS
Into the wild, oh
It’s time to dream like a child again
Into the wild, oh
Letting go is where life begins
VERSE 3
We're not so different
We're all just children
Under weathered skin
VERSE 4
Forever searching
We’re on a journey
Back to innocence
PRE CHORUS 2
So I will follow, follow Your heart
In the face of the unknown
I will trust You, trust who You are
When I let go, I’m halfway home
BRIDGE
Yeah I can see it now, see it now
Heaven is all around, all around
Yeah I can see it now, see it now
Heaven is all around
PRE CHORUS 3
As I follow, follow Your heart
There’s no fear of the unknown
So I trust You, trust who You are
As I let go, I’m finally home
