i wanna go higher, higher   set it free   there's gotta be more to touch   than what i see   there's a reason we must be   for the love of God, speak it to me      good news for the modern man, yes it is   made by the creator's hands, yes he is   confirmed just who i am   here i stand   the forever man      it's gotta be higher, higher   let it be   carry on from this life's brevity   when this mortal coil is twisting   with the love of mercy carry me      sometimes we lose our sight   open our eyes   no secret here   heaven is near      good news for the modern man, yes it is   eternity in the heart of every man   confirmed just who i am   here i stand   the forever man      and the longer i live   the stronger i feel a creator put us here   and the day will come, gravity will run   and we'll meet you in the air   where face to face we will wonder   as the mysteries come undone   and at the end of all our travels   we find our journey's just begun       here i stand   it's who i am   here i stand   forever man
