No, it wasn't Everest
But it sure seemed high to me
And though barely five years old
I shimmied up that tree
Halfway up, I looked down
It seemed a mile away
I still recall the fear inside
Like it was yesterday

Daddy came running
When he heard my cry;
Then he told me
As his arms opened wide

Jump
Child, I will catch you
I will not let you
Slip through my arms
Oh, jump
Don't think about it
And 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 am 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
Who hears my cries
And He tells me
As His arms open wide

Jump
Child, I will catch you
I will not let you
Slip through My arms
Oh, jump
Don't think about it
And don't ever doubt it
There's no need to fear
I'm standing right here

Jump
Child, I will catch you
I will not let you
Slip through my arms
Oh, jump
Don't think about it
And don't ever doubt it
There's no need to fear
I'm standing right here
Jump
