Higher Learning Lyrics


I found myself on the road to confusion
A dull mind and a weak constitution
I gave a ride to a medicine man
He had a glass eye white light in his hands
Now
I wanna run through the green green grass
Shine a light on the shadows of the past
I wanna feel like a Siamese twin
Mass appeal with a solitude spin
Oh now, oh now he stopped my world turnin'
Oh now, oh now this is a higher learnin'
Listen
Oh, and I bet that you don't even think about it
Do you now boy?
When they tell us that we couldn't live without it
We climbed up to the mountain snow
And in the valley we was laid so low
But we will rise like the Phoenix from the ashes

We will rise like the Phoenix from the ashes
Oh now, oh now this is a higher learnin'
Oh now, oh now my eyes are burnin'
Come to the light, come to the light
(Put your mind in the hands of the medicine man)
Come to the light, come to the light
(Put your mind in the hands of the medicine man)
Time is a slippery fish now
Time is a slippery fish now
Drink deep, let your memory slip down
Time is a slippery fish now
(Put your mind in the hands of the medicine man)
He says we're livin' underground
We've been asleep in a memory dreamin'
The spell was broken by the sound
The cut is deep but the wound is healin'
And we will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes
We will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes
We will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes
We will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes
I will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes
He says he speaks to the monsoon rain
Drink deep and you'll feel no pain
I came to on a desolate avenue
My legs are weak but my mind full of fortitude
Oh now, oh now he stopped my world turnin'
Oh now, oh now my eyes are burnin'
Come to the light, come to the light
(Put your mind in the hands of the medicine man)
Come to the light, come to the light
(Put your mind in the hands of the medicine man)
Time is a slippery fish now
Time is a slippery fish now
Drink deep, let your memory slip down
Time is a slippery fish now
(Put your mind in the hands of the medicine man)
Yea yea yea yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea yea yea c'mon
Yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea

Sam Roberts is a Canadian rock singer-songwriter, based in Montreal, Quebec. His 2001 debut release, The Inhuman Condition became one of the bestselling independent releases in Quebec and Canadian music history.

Born in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, he attended Loyola High School and McGill University. Roberts formed the band William in 1993. The band's name was changed to Northstar in 1996. Although the band gained some notice in independent rock circles, they couldn't break through to a national audience, and broke up in the late 1990s. Roberts' bandmate George Donoso went on to significant success in indie rock circles with The Dears, but Roberts struggled for several years afterward.

In 2000 Roberts began his solo career by independently releasing his first studio album, Brother Down. The album was largely unsuccessful but the title track would later go on to be re-recorded and re-released on a six-song EP titled The Inhuman Condition. The EP sold slowly at first, but by the summer of 2002 Roberts was all over the Canadian airwaves: his first single "Brother Down" had become one of the biggest Canadian hits of the year, and the follow up single "Don't Walk Away Eileen" quickly followed suit.

Roberts then signed to Universal Music, releasing his full-length debut, We Were Born In A Flame, in 2003. That album's singles, "Where Have All the Good People Gone?", "Hard Road", "Brother Down" and "Don't Walk Away Eileen", became major hits, especially in Canada.

The band's album Chemical City, produced with Joseph Donovan and released on April 11, 2006, got major radio play in Canada after its release, especially the single "The Gate".

The band's latest release, the album Love at the End of the World (May 20, 2008), included the song "Them Kids", which reached #1 on the Canadian indie chart (the R3-30), and also #1 on CFNY's Thursday 30 chart.
