Higher
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.
Tell me why you're crying no kind of big deal
When you gave me something I don't really feel
But you knew that already
When I found you on the ground you were dying
Now you come into my yard, uninvited
Can you see me on the edge? I'm enlightened
If the world was ending
Would you cry, or would you try to get me
Tell now, I want you to be clear yeah
Tell me now, I need it to be clear yeah
I will wait for you, for you
I will wait for you
I will wait for you
Get me
Can you put the time on a rewind yeah?
Help me understand? Can you tell me now
Why you made the war that we're fighting now?
And you fall, and you run when you see my big guns
Run around, run away as the rebel comes out
Then you call, call on me
When you call me I come
But there you go again
With your deaf ears
Open your mind to the sound of the trumpet
What do want from a life of the hopeless
Now here you are and you're begging and crying
I want to fly yeah I'm flying
Till morning
Running away to the land of discovery
Running away from the suffering, I'm gone yeah
Running away from the darkness I'm out here
Yeah
Higher than all the limits
Going way beyond the noise and feelings
When you speak all I can hear is silence
Running back from all the pain and violence
Big tunes, now it's big tunes I'm killing
Cry now from the side now, call my name
Fall down when you see me, you know that
You know that I will stay for you
I will wait for you, for you
I will wait for you
I will wait for you
