Lyrics: Shaun Groves. After the Music Fades.

Lord, take me from this place
Into a world that has no time
No hurries, no worries
Gladly I leave them all behind
Down here, I'm letting go and drawing near

I wanna sing, I wanna fly
I wanna see from your side of the sky
And I wanna love, I wanna stay
Wanna be close to you
Long after the music fades
Long after the music fades, yeah

Lord, I come to give you
Much more than just a melody
Please take me and break me
Right now God, I don't want to leave
Unchanged, I never wanna be the same

I wanna sing, I wanna fly
I wanna see from your side of the sky
And I wanna love, I wanna stay
Wanna be close to you
Long after

'Cause Lord you are
Mighty, Awesome, Righteous
Gracious, Knowing, in me overflowing
Father, Teacher, Master, Leader
Jealous, loving, you are

And you make me wanna sing, I wanna fly
I wanna see from your side of the sky
I wanna love, I wanna stay
Wanna be close to you
Long after

And I wanna sing, I wanna fly
I wanna see from your side of the sky
And I wanna love, I wanna stay
Wanna be close to you
Long after

Wanna be close to you
Forever after
Wanna be close to you
Long after the music fades
Long after the music fades, yeah

You are life, you are love
You are everything that I'm needin'
You are life, you are love
You are everything that I'm needin'

You are life
(I wanna be)
You are love
(I wanna be)
You are everything that I'm needin'
(I wanna be closer)
