Lyrics
Like the seagull gently floats above the sea
That's the way I'd like my life on earth to be
Close to You Lord, free from all care
With nature's splendor You let me share
Like the seagull looks to You to find his meal
In the shiny ocean waters well concealed
Resting assured You will provide
Washing away all my human pride
THEN LIKE THE SEAGULL, I WILL FLY
NEARER TO YOU LORD, IN THE SKY
A FLIGHT WITHOUT WINGS
LISTENING TO SONGS THAT THE ANGELS SING
Won't You lift me up so I'm not weighted down
Only You can break these chains to which I'm bound
Like the seagull, at peace I will be
In You and with You I will be free
THEN LIKE THE SEAGULL, YOUR CREATURE I'LL BE
NO MORE DISTRACTIONS, MY GOD AND ME
OTHER SEAGULLS I SEE
I JOIN THEIR FLIGHT TO YOUR MAJESTY
