Verse 1

when you get this message

 i'll be high above the earth

thinking 'bout the promises that i keep

when i touch down in texas

 land in dallas/fort worth

 i will call you up and wake you from your sleep

Chorus

i will not let go

 i will not let go

 i will not let go of you

i will not let go

 i will not let go

 i will not let go of you

Verse 2

who or what controls

 the fates of men i cannot say

but i keep arriving safely home to you

and i humbly acknowledge

 that i won't always get my way

 but darling death will have to pry my fingers loose
