Higher Ground

I got somethin' burnin' in my chest

An ocean made of embers unexpressed

Flickers from a heartbeat that won't change

And when my moment comes, I've set my aim

I know that I'm lucky, yeah, I got it good

Still my body's restless, always on the move

It's in my bloodstream, I think I'm ready for a higher ground

Findin' my reasons why 'cause I never wanna slow down

(Ooh, ooh) Yeah, I never wanna slow down

(Ooh, ooh) Think I'm ready for a higher ground

People say a fire's bound to fade

But when I want it bad, I just can't wait

You can be a cynic all you want

But when I'm on my feet, I give my all

I know that I'm lucky, yeah, I got it good

Still my body's restless, always on the move

It's in my bloodstream, I think I'm ready for a higher ground

Findin' my reasons why 'cause I never wanna slow down

(Ooh, ooh) Yeah, I never wanna slow down

(Ooh, ooh) Think I'm ready for a higher ground

Call me naive, I got wide eyes

But if it goes to hell, I know I tried

It's in my bloodstream, I think I'm ready for a higher ground

Findin' my reasons why 'cause I never wanna slow down

(Ooh, ooh) Yeah, I never wanna slow down

(Ooh, ooh) Think I'm ready for a higher ground

(Ooh, ooh)

(Ooh)
