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.
