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
