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 chokeAs I am getting nearer
My mission is coming clearI 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 groundI left everyone behind me
I took everything I know
Half way up and I'm still climbing
Still a million miles to goThe water is drawing nearer
As everything disappearsI 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 groundAnd 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 stopI 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 ignoreI 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 ignoreI'm heading for higher, higher groundWay up here, the air is thin
Feels like I could go so far
