Let's Go Higher (Switchfoot.com Bonus Track)

(album: Native Tongue - 2019)

My life is a conversation
Between my body and my soul
No maps, just destinations
To a place that can't be bought and won't be sold
In the darkness, only questions
Still looking for the light of day
Every scar taught me a lesson
I need you by my side to light the way

Come on, let's go higher
When the ground around me crumbles
Come on, let's go higher
I'm at the bottom of my heart
Come on, let's go higher
I might fall and I might stumble
But right here and now is where the journey starts
Come on, let's go higher

Entitlement like a cancer
God owes nothing to my soul
I keep looking for the easy answers
But it's the questions and the pain that makes you grow
The first time that I held my daughter
I heard angels down the hall
Like a tree digging for the water
It's the deeper you kneel down that makes you tall

Come on, let's go higher
When the ground around me crumbles
Come on, let's go higher
I'm at the bottom of my heart
Come on, let's go higher
I might fall and I might stumble
But right here and now is where the journey starts
Come on, let's go higher and higher

Say it out loud! Say it out loud!
We are more than just our past mistakes
Say it out loud! Say it out loud!
More than the goods we accumulate
Say it out loud! Say it out loud!
I am more than just a number
Priceless, born device-less, and viceless
Born for more than just surviving this crisis

Singing, hallelujah nevertheless
Hallelujah nevertheless
Hallelujah nevertheless
Hallelujah nevertheless
Hallelujah nevertheless
Hallelujah nevertheless
Through the flood and through the fire
You're still leading me, singing

Come on, let's go higher
When the ground around me crumbles
Come on, let's go higher
I'm at the bottom of my heart
Come on, let's go higher
I might fall and I might stumble
But right here and now is where the journey starts
Come on, let's go higher and higher

Come on, let's go higher
You're the river that's inside me
Come on, let's go higher
You're the fire in my heart
Come on, let's go higher
You're the compass left to guide me
And right here and now is where the journey starts
Come on, let's go higher
