I'm gonna reach high, so high
I need to reach high, so high
I'm gonna reach high, so high
I need to reach high, so high
As far as I can go until my love comes down
Spread wide my wings and touch the sky
Baby, that's all I can do
I'll take a chance as long as I can
The Lord will make my dreams come true
So long I have been searching for my strength
Looking all over the place
Not a thing could I find that could satisfy my mind
So I will climb a mountain high and swim the ocean blue
Cause just like I said, Your love comes over my head
(I'm gonna reach high, so high) So, so high, high, high
(I need to reach high, so high) I'm gonna feel high, so, so high
(So give me wings to fly) Take me higher on a magic carpet ride
(And I will head for the friendly skies)
I'm gonna fly like the flying nun high and proud
I'll fly away like Peter Pan
Darling, that's all I can do
I'll take a chance as soon as I can
God can make my dreams come true
Give me some rhythm, make me dance
A long, long time I never felt so nice
Now I'm feeling good
And I am in a dancing mood
So won't you come and dance with me so very joyfully
And just like I said, Your love comes over my head
Now I'm feeling high, so high
I'm flying high on cloud nine
(I'm feeling high, so high) So, so high, I'm feeling high
(I'm riding high on cloud nine) I'm feeling high, so, so high
(When I smile and rejoice) Please raise me up on the wings of an eagle
(In the name of the Lord)
Please raise me up, dear, on the wings of an eagle
Cause just like I said, Your love comes over my head
And now I'm high as an eagle in the sky
Yes, I'm high as a kite flying in the air
(Soaring through the white clouds) Please take me up for a ride in a hot-air balloon
(Until my love comes down) To the top of the world until my love comes down
