Higher Ground

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I've been crawling

To the mountains

Skinned my knees with blood and hope

If I stayed standing

I'd be drowning

The rising waters made me choke

As I am getting nearer

My mission is coming clear

I know this road

Never seen it before

I know what lies behind unopened doors

I saw the signs from the distant shore

That I couldn't ignore...

I'm heading for higher ground

I left everyone behind me

I took everything I know

Half way up and I'm still climbing

Still a million miles to go

The water is drawing nearer

As everything disappears

I know this road

Never seen it before

I know what lies behind unopened doors

I saw the signs from the distant shore

That I couldn't ignore...

I'm heading for higher ground

And my foot slips

But I don't quit

And my hand grips the rock

Something pulls deep

From within me

Til I get there, I won't stop

I know this road

Never seen it before

I know what lies behind unopened doors

I saw the signs from the distant shore

That I couldn't ignore

I know this road

Never seen it before

I know what lies behind unopened doors

I saw the signs from the distant shore

That I couldn't ignore

I'm heading for higher, higher ground

Way up here, the air is thin

Feels like I could go so far
