'Cause I was born to walk this higher road forever
If I had my way, I would bring you back to stay but you’re gone
Fool to think I could play this game with you
And then the rain came and the sun went down below
'Cause when this higher road comes down, we'll be born together
There’s no understanding all the things that people do
It’s true that you lose your mind when you gain control
Is the crown that you wore, is the crown that you wore
And I realized what was happening, I had to pay the toll
Is the crown that you wore, is the crown that you wore
Higher road, higher road, higher road
I didn’t even see, there was blood on the tracks
That’s the way that you're making the storm
Couldn’t believe that this was happening
I said, "God, please don’t put me back"
But when this higher road comes down, we'll be born together
And then I realized what was happening, you have to pay the toll
That the more that you fight and the more that you try
All I got, all I got is the crown that your wore
Tell me why it’s so hard to stay
Seems I got too close to the sun
I was down to my very last friend
Is the crown that you wore, is the crown that you wore
I said, "When this higher road comes down, we'll be born forever, yeah"
I was burning, burning, burning, burning
At night, I toss and turn 'cause it seems that I haven’t learned
And the city arose from the water, it was off the shore
But I was a fool to think I could play this game with you
I was on Highway 7 again
Is the crown that you wore
And the city arose from the water and the water flowed
I said, "When this higher road comes down, we'll be born forever, hey, hey"
It’s true that you gain your soul when you lose control
And then the rain came and the sun went down below
I was still compromising
In your place, in the arms of the one
'Cause I was born to walk this higher road forever
See, there’s no understanding all the things that people do
