Am I falling short or do I fly While I miss the mark do I hit the sky And in my wondering do I answer why I'm alive To make a space - bushwhack a path Leave a sign - dodge the wrath Of myself and leave the math to God Falling short I've hit the spot Of the place where I was shot From the womb of my mother I've fallen short but is there another Place where I could be Is short just the place for me to see What I can do What I've been given My holy view of hell an heaven Am I falling short or do I fly While I miss the mark do I hit the sky In my wondering do I answer why I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive
