No, it wasn't Everest; But it sure seemed high to me;
And though barely five years old; I shimmied up that tree;
Halfway up I looked down; It seemed a mile away;
I still recall the fear inside; Like it was yesterday;
Daddy came running when he heard my cry;
Then he told me as his arms opened wide......
(Chorus)
Oh, Jump; Child, I will catch you; I will not let you;
Slip through my arms; Jump; Don't think about it;
There's no need to fear; I'm standing right here; Jump.
Today I'm still climbing; Reaching for my dreams;
And though I am older now; There's still a child in me;
And I have these moments; Every now and then;
It seems I'm all by myself; Stuck out on a limb;
But, there's a Father up in Heaven; Who hears my cries;
And He tells me; As His arms open wide.
(Chorus)
Oh, Jump; Child, I will catch you; I will not let you;
Slip through my arms; Jump; Don't think about it;
There's no need to fear; I'm standing right here; Jump.
