Cue Estey - Higher

Good song for fighting through the hard times. Finding motivation where there seems to be lack of hope.

Pretty good for a local band.



Cue Estey - Higher

Verse 1:

i'm not supposed to die until i learn to fly
stretching out my arms so back they lay against the sky
happy just for once to know that i'm alive inside
all the voices that i hear would say goodbye, bye

i defy you wipe the tear that's by your eye
like season greetings in the middle of july
why it took so long, was something wrong with me inside
was i like my father when the doves began to cry

i didn't know the answer but i feel the heat inside
exploring stars and distant galaxies collide
the center of the sun, i rode a gun i will survive
every stroke i brush across the canvas of the sky

like popping cherries in the middle of the pie
brighter shades of red to mourn the dead the day i die
fly without a reason, just believing i'll arrive
till the day my breathing stops, i got to take you high

CHORUS (x2):

sometimes you gonna get lit up
dust yourself and put your fists up
sometimes you just might get smacked
and then you get bit, but you bite back

Verse 2:

close the chapter and i'm never turning back
walking half-cocked that's how i used to interact
its really not like i played it like that
but i'm not sorry for the way i used to act

i admit i did it i was wack
acting out of order every time i react
and on the way i know i broke a pact
each and everyday i wish i could take it back

but i can't and what i did is done
and when it happened it was just a hit and run
i never thought from my home i'd be shunned
you raised me up now what i'm not your son

do you think that i did it all for fun?
am i playing with a match and a gun
do you hear me i know that i'm young
blood sweat and tears here are filling up my lungs

CHORUS (x4):

sometimes you gonna get lit up
dust yourself and put your fists up
sometimes you just might get smacked
and then you get bit, but you bite back
