My Heart Will Fly
MercyMe Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why this happened I cannot explain
Why write the script with such heartache and pain
Could there not have been an easier way

Watching life through this glass so faded
I cannot see the bigger picture taking place
Oh, to understand one day

My heart will fly
When I finally see You face to face
And my tears will fly
Away, away

It won't be long until we all go home
With all things revealed and on that day we'll finally know
Oh, as we are fully known

My heart will fly
When I finally see you face to face
And my tears will fly
Away, away

And what appears as incomplete
Is still completely Yours
And one day we'll see as we've been seen
And, we'll soar

My heart will fly
When I finally see You face to face
And my tears will fly

Away, away
And my heart will fly

Line by Line Meaning

Why this happened I cannot explain
I am unable to justify why this situation occurred

Why write the script with such heartache and pain
Why was the path for us scripted with so much misery and hurt

Could there not have been an easier way
Was there no other plausible alternative for this to play out

Watching life through this glass so faded
Looking at life as it is from an opaque, obscured point of view

I cannot see the bigger picture taking place
I am incapable of perceiving the larger context surrounding me

Oh, to understand one day
Yearning for the day when I will attain complete comprehension of everything

My heart will fly
My emotions shall soar buoyantly

When I finally see You face to face
Upon encountering You for the very first time, in person

And my tears will fly
And my tears shall similarly lift away, light as a feather

Away, away
Far from me, darting into the horizon, into perpetual distance

It won't be long until we all go home
The time period remaining till we return home to heaven is negligible

With all things revealed and on that day we'll finally know
Every last detail shall be exposed, once and for all, that solemn day when we find out

Oh, as we are fully known
As we are acknowledged and comprehended completely

And what appears as incomplete
What seems unfinished, insufficient

Is still completely Yours
Is nevertheless Yours, in totality

And one day we'll see as we've been seen
We shall eventually perceive everything in the same way that we have been perceived

And, we'll soar
And, we shall fly high

My heart will fly
My feelings will be in a state of weightlessness

When I finally see You face to face
Upon beholding You right in front of me

And my tears will fly
My tears would lift off and vanish

Away, away
Further and further, far from me
