Jump Lyrics

I knew it wasn't Everest,
But it sure seemed high to me.
And though only 5 years old,
I shimmied up that tree

Halfway up I looked down,
It seemed a mile away
I still recall the fear I felt,
Like it was yesterday

Daddy came running,
When he heard my cry,
And he told me he has his arms open wide

Jump!
Child I will catch you,
I will not let you
Slip through my arms,
Ohhhhhh

Jump!
Don't think about it,
Don't ever doubt it,
There's no need to fear
I'm standing right here
Jump.

Today, I'm still climbing,
Reaching for my dreams,
And though I'm older now,
There's still a child in me

And I have these moments,
Every now and then,
It seems I'm all by myself
Stuck out on a limb

But there's a father up in heaven
That hears my cry
And he tells me he has his arms open wide

Jump!

Child I will catch you,
I will not let you
Slip through my arms,
Ohhhhhh

Jump!
Don't think about it,
Don't ever doubt it,
There's no need to fear
I'm standing right here
Jump.

Jump!
Child I will catch you,
I will not let you
Slip through my arms,
Ohhhhhh

Jump!
Don't think about it,
Don't ever doubt it,
There's no need to fear
I'm standing right here

Jump.
