Higher


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

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

Gonna take me higher and higher ‘til 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
Take me higher (woah, gonna take me higher)
Gonna take me higher (woah, 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, show me how to love

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

Gonna take me higher and higher ‘til 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
Take me higher (woah, gonna take me higher)
Gonna take me higher (woah, gonna take me higher)

Take me higher and higher until I touch the sky
Gonna hold me closer and closer, oh when I’m about to cry
Gonna set me free from this pain and loneliness
Higher (woah, gonna take me higher)
Take me higher (oh, gonna take me higher)

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

Where people walk round with a glazed over look
They be numb, they feel nothin’ but 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
