You say the road looks long
Mountain peaks ahead
I feel the weight inside
But I won't turn around
Every step I take
Every breath I make
Leads me to the place
Where I belong
I'm climbing higher ground
Won't let me down
Rising above the clouds
Can hear the sound
Of who I'm meant to be
Finally free
Higher ground is calling me
Calling me
You watch me stumble here
Dust upon my knees
I wipe the tears away
Keep moving toward the sun
Every step I take
Every breath I make
Leads me to the place
Where I belong
I'm climbing higher ground
Won't let me down
Rising above the clouds
Can hear the sound
Of who I'm meant to be
Finally free
Higher ground is calling me
Calling me
When the storm comes down
When the voices shout
I remember now
What this is about
Not the fear inside
Not the pain I hide
But the fire that burns
Burns so bright
I'm climbing higher ground
Won't let me down
Rising above the clouds
Can hear the sound
Of who I'm meant to be
Finally free
Higher ground is calling me
We're climbing higher ground
Won't let us down
Rising above the clouds
Can hear the sound
Of who we're meant to be
Finally free
Higher ground is calling me
Calling you and me
