If we reach too high, we fall
Losing something after all
But if we stay too low, we hide
And feel the fading light inside

When we chase a greater dream
Life can tear us at the seam
But holding only what is small
Leaves us wondering through it all

How do we choose a way
When both can lead astray
One brings the weight of fear
The other disappears
And Jesus showed in his life’s flow
Both courage and quiet help us grow

Some say boldness makes us live
Some say safety helps us give
But boldness breaks the unprepared
And safety keeps the brave impaired

If reaching risks the heart we keep
And staying still can make it sleep
What measure guides the steps we choose
So we gain more than what we lose

Do not seek height or smallness
Seek meaning
Let ambition serve love
Let modesty guard your heart
Walk where truth grows strong
And fear grows weak

Do not seek height or smallness
Seek meaning
Let ambition serve love
Let modesty guard your heart
Walk where truth grows strong
And fear grows weak

We can dream without losing our flame
We can rest without shrinking our name
For Jesus showed that purpose grows
Not in extremes, but the path we chose
