Takes
Lyrics
[verse]
I've been low and I've been lost,
Paid a debt I never thought I'd cost,
But every fall taught me to stand,
Every failure put a torch in my hand.
[chorus]
I'm climbing to higher ground,
Won't let the old ways drag me down,
Second chances don't come twice,
So I'm running for the higher light.
[verse]
Watched the world spin round in greed,
Watched it chase what it don't need,
But I woke up, I see it clear,
There's no time left to waste down here.
[chorus]
I'm climbing to higher ground,
Won't let the old ways drag me down,
Second chances don't come twice,
So I'm running for the higher light.
[bridge]
No more sleeping through the call,
No more waiting for the walls to fall,
I've got a purpose, I've got a fire,
Taking me up, taking me higher.
[chorus]
I'm climbing to higher ground,
Won't let the old ways drag me down,
Second chances don't come twice,
So I'm running for the higher light.
