Higher ground

I got something burnin' in my chest
An ocean made of embers unexpressed
Flickers from a heartbeat that won’t change
And when my moment comes I’ve set my aim

I know that I’m lucky, yeah, I got it good
Still, my body’s restless, always on the move

It’s in my bloodstream, I
Think I’m ready for a higher ground
Finding my reasons why
‘Cause I never wanna slow down
Ooh, ooh
Yeah, I never wanna slow down
Ooh, ooh
Think I’m ready for a higher ground

People say: A fire’s bound to fade
But when I want it bad I just can’t wait
You can be a cynic all you want
But when I’m on my feet I give my all

I know that I’m lucky, yeah, I got it good
Still, my body’s restless, always on the move

It’s in my bloodstream, I
Think I’m ready for a higher ground
Finding my reasons why
‘Cause I never wanna slow down
Ooh, ooh
Yeah, I never wanna slow down
Ooh, ooh
Think I’m ready for a higher ground

Call me naive, I got wide eyes
But if it goes to hell, I know I tried

It’s in my bloodstream, I
Think I’m ready for a higher ground
Finding my reasons why
‘Cause I never wanna slow down
Ooh, ooh
Yeah, I never wanna slow down
Ooh, ooh
Think I’m ready for a higher ground
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
