Slow Road Higher

Verse 1

Mud

On my boots

Heavy water in the canyon

The engine stalls and stuttering starts

I push

I climb

I find a way to keep on breathing

Cold air biting through my thin jacket

One mile

Two miles

The mountain doesn't move for nobody

Chorus

I will grow as tall as the oak tree

Tall as the oak tree

Tall as the oak tree

Stretching my fingers to the clouds

I'm gonna reach it

I'm gonna reach it

All I have to do is keep on believing

Just keep believing

Post-Chorus

Higher and higher

Higher and higher

Yeah

Oh oh oh

Verse 2

Slow

Low gear

Grinding metal on the asphalt

The gravel spits and the wheels spin

I know

I see

I see the finish line waiting

Sunlight breaking through the heavy grey

Heartbeat

Fast pace

The road is long but the tank is full

Chorus

I will grow as tall as the oak tree

Tall as the oak tree

Tall as the oak tree

Stretching my fingers to the clouds

I'm gonna reach it

I'm gonna reach it

All I have to do is keep on believing

Just keep believing

Post-Chorus

Higher and higher

Higher and higher

Yeah

Oh oh oh

Bridge

They said I was too small

They said I was too weak

They said I'd never stand

Look at me now

Look at me now

Look at me now

I am rooted in the stone

I am reaching for the sun

Chorus

I will grow as tall as the oak tree

Tall as the oak tree

Tall as the oak tree

Stretching my fingers to the clouds

I'm gonna reach it

I'm gonna reach it

All I have to do is keep on believing

Just keep believing

Outro

Growing tall

Tall as the oak tree

Watch me grow

Watch me grow

Yeah

Believing

Just believing

I made it

I finally made it
