Lyrics

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 know when my day will come

Go back to the place that I came from

Looking back, will I think that I did it right?

I still don't sleep at night

I got these symphonies stuck in my head

And they don't leave

Filling up the silence with these notes

I don't want them to go

Ghosts follow me around these days

Haunting my head and house

My mind is crazy loud

But I won't give in to it

Take it all in stride

This life is such a ride

I live until I die

I walk into the fire

I'm searching for the higher ground

What a life

I live until I die

Won't fail unless I try

I'm searching for the higher ground

I've got that golden gun

I was born as the seventh son

Everything comes with conditions

Everyone's got their dirty dishes

I've got these memories

Stuck in my head, and they won't leave

Filling up my treetops with these crows

I wish that they would go

This life is such a ride

I live until I die

I walk into the fire

I'm searching for the higher ground

What a life

I live until I die

Won't fail unless I try

I'm searching for the higher—

This life is such a ride

I live until I die

I walk into the fire

I'm searching for the higher ground

What a life

I live until I die

Won't fail unless I try

I'm searching for the higher ground

Get it, got it, want it

Tell me what to do and I'm on it

I am the witness, the genesis, the reason

Get it, got it, want it

Tell me what to do and I'm on it

I am the witness, the witness, the witness (the witness, the witness)

This life is such a ride

I live until I die

I walk into the fire

I'm searching for the higher ground

What a life

I live until I die

Won't fail unless I try

Bleeding, keep on breathing

Higher ground

(Hey, hey)

Higher, higher

Higher, higher ground

Higher ground

(Hey, hey)

Higher, higher

Higher, higher ground
