Higher Ground

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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] Way up here, the air is thin Feels like I could go so far
