Alexz Johnson Higher Ground Lyrics

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
