High Road

All I can say is things didn’t go as I planned
Seems everyday I’m learning it’s out of my hands
And coming to terms is harder than ever before
When you would give anything to know what all of this is for
Well there are things that I cannot change now
But these are strings that I will untangle
Give me a high road to rise up and follow
I’ll keep my eyes closed and breathe
And give me a tightrope to walk from the highest peak
And I’ll never look down at my feet
Somebody thought if you can let down your pride
You won’t be afraid; fear is not a safe place to hide
And I was convinced I’d never win your love, no
But I didn’t see all I really needed was my own
And there are things that I can’t explain now
But it's not too late, and I am so thankful
That I got a high road to rise up and follow
I’ll keep my eyes closed and breathe
Give me a tightrope to walk from the highest peak
And I’ll never look down at my feet
I’ve been down enough times to know it’s no good
And I’m working overtime, just thinking I should
Carry all of this weight around
I’m finding out that I never could
I never could
So give me a high road to rise up and follow
I’ll keep my eyes closed and breathe
And give me a tightrope to walk from the highest peak
And I’ll never look down at my feet
Never look down at my feet
