Higher Ground Lyrics
I've been crawling
To the mountains
Skinned my knees
with blood and hope
If i stayed standing
I'd be drowning
The rising waters
made me choke
As I am getting nearer
My mission is coming clear
I know this road
Never seen it before
I know what lies behind
unopened doors
I saw the signs
from the distant shores
That I couldn't ignore
I'm headed for
Higher grounds
yeah..
I left everyone behind me
I took everything I know
Half way up and
I'm still climbing
Still a million miles to go
The water is
drawing nearer
As everything disappears
I know this road
Never seen it before
I know what lies behind
unopened doors
I saw the signs
from the distant shores
That I couldn't ignore
I'm headed for
Higher grounds
And my foot slips
But i don't quit
And my hand
grips the rock
Something pulls deep
From within me
Til I get there,
I won't stop
I know this road
Never seen it before
I know what lies behind
unopened doors
I saw the signs
from the distant shores
That I couldn't ignore
I know this road
Never seen it before
I know what lies behind
unopened doors
I saw the signs
from the distant shores
That I couldn't ignore
I'm headed for
Higher, higher grounds
Way up here,
the air is thin
Feel like I could
go so far
To the mountains
with blood and hope
If i stayed standing
The rising waters
made me choke
My mission is coming clear
Never seen it before
unopened doors
from the distant shores
That I couldn't ignore
Higher grounds
I took everything I know
Half way up and
I'm still climbing
Still a million miles to go
drawing nearer
As everything disappears
Never seen it before
unopened doors
from the distant shores
That I couldn't ignore
Higher grounds
But i don't quit
grips the rock
Something pulls deep
Til I get there,
I won't stop
Never seen it before
unopened doors
from the distant shores
That I couldn't ignore
Never seen it before
unopened doors
from the distant shores
That I couldn't ignore
Higher, higher grounds
the air is thin
Feel like I could
go so far

hmm. to me,this song is basically saying she's off to bigger and better things.
after "skinning her knees" (hard stuff she's been through),she has no idea what lies in store for her.
she knows she has to keep going,she can't be in that one place for long.
well,yeah.that's what I got out of it. xoxo.
yeah, I agree with iwantyourbod(i like your name!). It's about her journey from where she was, to where she is now. Its about what she's been going through and is going through and how she is kinda pushing herself and not giving up no matter what. Its message is really motivating, it's a great song!
