Andrew Skillen Higher Ground
HIGHER GROUND
My plans are so much bigger than this life I’m leading.
My dreams are brighter than these dark days I’m living.
I keep hoping and praying for that next big break.
Get me off this hamster wheel, I’m running in place.
(Chorus)
Where do I go from here?
How do I turn this ship around?
Feels like I’m stuck on a treadmill.
How do I get to higher ground?
You came along and made me believe in myself again.
But I want to show you I’m a bigger man.
Bigger than what you’ve seen up till now.
Need to figure out what the hell is holding me down…
(Chorus)
Where do I go from here?
How do I turn this ship around?
Feels like I’m stuck on a treadmill.
How do I get to higher ground?
I’m not the only one, that’s feeling pushed down.
There’s a lot of us, on this not so merry-go-round,
We all want to get out of this sh*t.
A rising tide lifts all ships…
(Chorus)
Where do I go from here?
How do I turn this ship around?
Feels like I’m stuck on a treadmill.
How do I get to higher ground?
For now, I’ll just grin and bear it.
Keep pushing on, and make the best of it.
For now, I’ve got you and for that I’m blessed.
For now I’ve got love and that’s more than enough.
