DeVal Johnson - Higher Lyrics

I hope and I pray
That tomorrow brings a brighter day
Right now I'm afraid
That the cost is more than the price I paid
We live and we die
Hardly questioning the reasons why
We say that we care
But we take much more than we're willing to share
I wanna be higher
Higher
Higher my friends
I wanna be higher
Higher
Higher to the end
How hard can it be
To express myself with dignity
Can I learn to be
What I feel inside at the heart of me
Somehow what I know
Wasn't taught to me and yet I show
Signs of something more
Something so much more that I can't ignore
I wanna be higher
Higher
Higher my friends
I wanna be higher
Higher
Higher to the end
Can I be stronger
Than all the odds against me
Can't wait any longer
I've gotta set my spirit free
I wanna be higher
Higher
Higher my friends
I wanna be higher
Higher
Higher to the end
I wanna be higher
Higher
Higher my friends
I wanna be higher
Higher
Higher to the end
Higher and higher
Higher and higher
And higher
Stand on higher ground
