Higher - Russ Taff

The will to survive

Is bred in the bone

But it seems that life

Has terms of its own

Feel like I’m standing

With a foot on each side

Where do you run

When those two world collide?

The questions are unchanged

The cry remains the same

I pray You’ll lift me higher

Face to face with who I am

Higher

Above the myths that make a man

Higher please hold on to me

I’ve had a taste

Of what a man can be

When his shattered soul

Is standing whole and free

Why is it easier to hold on tight

To just the shadow instead of the light?

The questions are unchanged

The cry remains the same

It’s the way of the world

It’s the lay of the land

The system can break you

If you don’t understand

The questions are unchanged

The cry remains the same

I pray You’ll lift me higher

Face to face with who I am

Higher

Above the myths that make the man

Higher

Please hold on to me
