Faun Fables - Higher lyrics

I'm going higher. Yes, higher, someday I'm going higher, to stay Over the clouds And beyond the blue sky Going where love Ever sings on the right Loved ones to meet In that sweet by and by I'm going higher someday I believe I still have a chance I will sing and, and I will dance I will pull myself up With invisible strings Friends will wander (??) Mother will be (?) Loved ones to meet In that sweet by and by I'm going higher someday I will come to the holiday feast (?) Sit at your table (?) With candies for each (?) I will not slouch Nor will I cry Heaviness leaves Just like the tide Loved ones to meet In that sweet by and by I'm going higher someday
