Verse 1  Everybody, and the way they look at me  Like I'm some kind of rebel  What do they know about my life  And the world I'm living  You know that people, are allowed their freedom, and identity  Don't let 'em tie you to the railings of conformity    Chorus  Rise up from the ways  (Rise up from the ways)  To a higher place  (To a higher place)  See the skies above  (See the skies above)  What was once beloved!    Verse 2  Take me to the angels, see what the good book says  Take me to the farmers, for the good lands sake  Take me to the land where a woman can be who she can  Is there anything left to die for  Prophets and Martyrs, I heard IT ALL BEFORE  IS there anything left to believe in anymore?    Chorus    Verse 3  In the city, the melody can get so low  In the city, the people seem to walk so slow  Just remember, there's a place inside, we all need to go    Chorus    Adlib  (Take me to a higher place)  (Take me to the land where a woman can be who she can)
