ALEXZ JOHNSON LYRICS - Higher Ground

"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



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
