Ovadia - Higher lyrics

[Verse I] I've been around the block a few times, now it's time for a sequel I've witnessed a bit of good, and a whole lot of evil I've seen the best and the worst in people I've refused to enter a church I've been seen on my knees beneath a steeple I've been up and I've been down But I've never been out until right now So it's right now that I lie down My mind drowned out, by the power of this light now! My life's found And I know that the questions haunting me are trite now My soul's contrite, how? Why? Where? When? My mind can't comprehend Life? When I'm surrounded by d**h? I'm not blessed I never have been So why does it feel like the hand of God lifting me out of the depths? I guess I've never gone this low before I've never had to climb nine flights of stairs just to get back to the main floor I guess I've never really slammed the door Now I gave up, and fell, and found that I was soaring higher! [Chorus] Sunshine piercing the sky: The dawn is rising. The light Drives off the shadow and night (Higher!) The sun burns brighter than bright My life shudders and cries; Darkness trying to hide (Higher!) But there's no point in fighting in! I know you're right and it's Done before it started (Higher!) Sunshine piercing the sky: The dawn is rising higher, and higher, and higher, and higher! [Verse II] I see the sunrise, I hear the birds sing I'm flying high, and I just feel like I might be a king Or maybe a prince I dunno, I've never felt like this! Like even though life isn't bliss It isn't amiss, or a mistake And even reminiscing on the distasteful Decisions I've made doesn't make my heart break As I intake this grace my soul comes awake Alive, renewed inside I can't explain it away, no matter how I try! If anything was ever real, then this is! I'll believe it ‘til I die See I've tried it all, this is as high as man can fly And these wings ain't even mine! Higher and higher I climb Trying to find the decline But now I'm inclined to tell you that divine design Decided that there's wouldn't be a ceiling on this ride Look at the coastline; look at the sea shine Can you believe that this is where we get to recline? Ridiculous! Without even tryin'! [Bridge] I've never felt so serene I'm not caught in between anymore You might find it hard to believe But I'm flying above the downpour Soaring on celestial wings! And I'm never coming down again, ‘cause I'm flying higher! [Chorus]
