Holding Out

Higher

When I look into my mother’s eyes
I get the feeling everything’s gonna be alright
Tears of joy, tears of pain streamin down my face
Don’t you worry now, don’t be afraid

But the world outside seems so distant so cold
And the world inside seems so empty, so alone
Don’t you worry none, there is always hope

Gonna take me higher and higher until I touch the sky
Gonna hold me closer and closer when I’m about to cry
Gonna set me free from this pain and loneliness
Gonna take me higher

When I look into my father’s eyes
I see a man who’s always going to try
Never gonna leave always be there in times of trouble
He’s gonna show me how to love

Higher and higher and higher

I can’t move my feet cause they stuck in the sand
I’m stretched to the max please grab my hand
Throw me a rope or just gimme some hope
Cause I need to get lifted from this land

People walk round with a glazed ova look
They be numb, they feel nothin’ please feel my hook
You know, it’s got the power to show ya how ya
Get up and run and get lifted, son!

Take me higher and higher and higher!
