Higher Ground lyrics

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.
