Higher Ground Lyrics - Alexz Johnson

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
