Lyrics

[Intro]
Take me to that place
Higher
[Intro]
Go, hold on
Go
Take me higher
Take me higher
[Verse 1]
In my mind I see the possibilities
When it comes to love there are no boundaries
Do you think that you and I can work it out
That's what true love's about
[PreChorus]
Baby, we can find an answer if we look inside our hearts
Love will be there waiting for us
Baby, we can rise above it if we leave our doubts behind us
We can learn to fly high above us
[Chorus]
There's a place up in the sky
Where the sun is shining
Take me higher (Take me higher)
There's a place I long to be
Where the birds are flying
Take me higher (Take me higher)
[Verse 2]
See it on the news, there's trouble eveywhere
Gotta reach out, show somebody that you care
It ain't good to let the bad news get us down
Let's spread some love around
[PreChorus]
Even if you wanna go there
To a place above the clouds
Gotta feel the power of love (Power of love)
Baby, we can rise above it if we leave our doubts behind
We can learn to fly high above us
[Chorus]
There's a place up in the sky
Where the sun is shining
Take me higher (Take me higher)
There's a place I long to be
Where the birds are flying
Take me higher (Take me higher)
[Chorus]
There's a place up in the sky
Where the sun is shining
Take me higher (Take me higher)
There's a place I long to be
Where the birds are flying
Take me higher (Take me higher)
[Bridge]
You gotta reach out
Feel the power of love
Show somebody you care
Take me...
[Bridge]
Oh, baby
Take me higher
Take me higher
[Chorus]
There's a place up in the sky
Where the sun is shining
Take me higher (Take me higher)
There's a place I long to be
Where the birds are flying
Take me higher (Take me higher)
[Chorus]
There's a place up in the sky
Where the sun is shining
Take me higher (Take me higher)
There's a place I long to be
Where the birds are flying
Take me higher (Take me higher)
[Bridge]
Take me higher
Take me, take me
Take me higher (Take me higher)
[Bridge]
Take me higher
Take me, take me, take me
Take me higher (Take me higher)
[Bridge]
Take me higher
Take me, take me
Take me higher (Take me higher)
[Bridge]
Take me higher
Take me, take me, take me
Take me higher (Take me higher)
[Chorus]
There's a place up in the sky
Where the sun is shining
Take me higher (Take me higher)
There's a place I long to be
I wanna go flying (Take me higher)
