HIGHER & HIGHER I GO

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

They label it paranoia when I lock the door

I say I've seen the shadows moving through this town

They hand me a diagnosis in a paper cup

I say something older has been dragging me down

Pre-Chorus

They want me quiet

They want me small

They want my hands folded

On their altar wall

Chorus

Higher and higher and higher

I hear a calling I can't explain

Higher and higher and higher

Past the smoke and the falling rain

They call it fear

I call it faith

I call it faith

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Jesus

Oh-oh

Jesus

Verse 2

They say it's just a sickness in my chemistry

I say a darker thing has been pulling the strings

They push the bottle

I push the kneeling down

Somebody's listening when I don't make a sound

Pre-Chorus

They want my silence

They want my name

They want my whole heart

Bent to their flame

Chorus

Higher and higher and higher

I hear a calling I can't explain

Higher and higher and higher

Past the smoke and the falling rain

They call it fear

I call it faith

I call it faith

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

He's calling me

Oh-oh

He's calling me

Bridge

Send me where the light runs thin

Send me where a voice is barely heard

Send me where the wounded wait

I will carry every single word

Oh Jesus send me

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Higher and higher and higher

I hear a calling I can't explain

Higher and higher and higher

Past the sorrow and the falling rain

They call it fear

I call it faith

I call it faith.

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Jesus

Oh-oh

Jesus
