In the swelter of the urban heat, the sirens draw a crowd
The city opens up another vein to let it all bleed out
Take me to the higher ground
Oh tell me
Where is love?
Where can peace be found?
On and on, I'd fly away
High up there without a care
Meet me somewhere in the cooler air
They say that intuition is the eye of the soul
Like a flash across the universe, its tale of virtue told
Angel on my shoulder keeps screaming in my ear
The Devil in the gutter whispers
Come on over here!
And hey, the weather's fine
Have you got something on your mind?
Take me to the higher ground
Oh tell me
Where is love?
Where can peace be found?
On and on, Let's fly away
High up there without a care
Meet me somewhere in the cooler air
Hello up there!
Throw me a rope!
So I can climb out of this dirty city, while there's still hope
Pull me up to higher ground
Oh tell me
Is there still a place where peace and love are found?
On and on, we'll fly away
Free out there without a care
Meet me somewhere in the cooler air
Suddenly, it all gets very easy
Walking on a cloud
A voice above the crowd
It's not the dream I'm chasing that gets me high
It's more the fears I'm facing
I'll tell you why
Just walk with me a while
I'll take you there in style
And you say
Take me to that higher ground
Oh tell me how to find that place, where love is all around?
And I say
On and on, we'll fly into the dawn
Free out there
Somewhere in the cooler air
