Lyrics
My daddy always told me
Hold your head up high
It’s just one moment
In all of time If you can’t see it
Just close your eyes
And believe it
It’s all inside
So Keep on keeping on
Til the walls come down
Reachin higher til your feet
Don’t touch the ground
Get the power of praise
Flowing out your mouth
Lemme hear ya
If you need Freedom
Look to the sky
Hope is waiting
On the other side
Sing Hallelujah
By and by
Don’t stop at walking
When you were made to fly
Mama always showed me
There’s more to life
Than copper pennies
And silver dimes
So rest your head child
It’ll be alright
Just keep knocking
And ye shall find
So keep on keeping on
Til the walls come down
Reachin higher til your feet
Don’t touch the ground
Get the power of praise
Flowing out your mouth
Lemme hear ya
If you need Freedom
Look to the sky
Hope is waiting
On the other side
Sing Hallelujah
By and by
Don’t stop at walking
When you were made to fly
So keep on keeping on
Til the walls come down
Reachin higher til your feet
Don’t touch the ground
Get the power of praise
Flowing out your mouth
Lemme hear ya
So keep on keeping on
Til the walls come down
Reachin higher til your feet
Don’t touch the ground Get the power of praise
Flowing out your mouth
Lemme hear ya
If you need Freedom
Look to the sky
Hope is waiting
On the other side
Sing Hallelujah
By and by
Don’t stop at walking
When you were made to fly
Don’t stop at walking
When you were made to fly

About This Song
When life is difficult, it can make it hard to get out of bed some days, never mind mustering the strength to accomplish the tasks of the day. When you get bogged down in the busyness of everyday life, it can be easy to lean on your own strength. Easy to forget that we serve a God who will give us the strength we need to meet the challenge of the daily grind.
Isaiah 40:31 says, “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
“Made To Fly” is a great reminder from Colton that we shouldn’t settle for walking, we were made to fly:
