red balloon

are you afraid

creeping there on the ground

wondering what’s lost

and forgetting you’ve been found?

come, take my hand

and fly with me

—

are you afraid

floating high above earth

staring at death

and forgetting your rebirth?

come, take my hand

and climb with me

—

are you afraid

with the tether lines slack

with the sun in your eyes

and the wind at your back?

come, take my hand

and dance with me

—

are you afraid?

or can you hear, too

the love in His voice

as He sings over you

come, take my hand

and shout with me

—

on our red balloon

the adventure’s begun

as we soar through the sky

and sail toward the Son

come, take my hand

and fly with me
