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 - yeah, 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.

Good news for the modern man - yes, it is.
Made by the Creator's hands - yeah, he is.
Confirmed just who I am.
Here I stand,
The forever man.

Sometimes we lose our sight.
Open our eyes.
No secrets 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.
