Everyone tells me I'm makin a mistake   good friends all warn me bout the care I should take   nobody knows you the way I do   nobody sees you through   through my eyes      Ready to question each step we take   so quick to challenge decisions we make   chains on our hearts   and our hands and feet   desperate to keep us down       (Chorus)   Climbing up to higher ground   higher ground   won't give up until we've found it   higher ground      Sometimes i just get so god damn tired   weary of warnings and reasons why   waves of an ocean that starts to rise   slowly around us now      (Chorus)    Climbing up to higher ground   higher ground   somewhere on a distant mountain   climbing up to higher ground   higher ground   far above and looking down from   higher ground         (Chorus)   Climbing up to higher ground   higher ground   i can feel love all around us   climbing up to higher ground   higher ground   far above and looking down from   higher ground
