Higher Ground
Ammie Harman
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
When they told me how to look I always shifted my tie And now I Don't try to save face When they told me how to jump I always asked, "How high?" And now I Fight for my name It took a decade, maybe longer To realize I was getting nowhere What a maniacal scheme So many years of broken promises My time will come, just wait in line A matrix of intentional deceit PRE-CHORUS: Everyone has their own agenda A goal to achieve Best of intentions, hidden ambitions Always a web to weave CHORUS: By and by, I'll take the lead Be the writer of my own story All in all, I'd say I'll be fine Being a hero in my own journey Don't need a man, don't need a friend I, I'm used to going without (all alone) Born alone, die on my own I, I got this all figured out (do I?) The storm is breaking, ship might be shakin' But I won't let you bring me down The captain of my fate, oh, I know the way I'm moving on up to higher ground They always told me I was second best Never the first choice, but At least I Learned to dance in the rain They only let me get close enough to taste Never take a bite, but At least I Nourished my timid brain They only gave as good as they could get Now I am fanning the flames They have no apologies, no regrets Won't I, put them to shame (PRE-CHORUS, CHORUS) This world will never give More than it will ever take You'll lose your mind, waste all your time Tryin' to make sense of the pain It may take a minute, might be a lifetime Before you see what you need to believe You've never find fulfillment, be happy Always working on someone else's dream (CHORUS) I'm the hero of my own story Catch me on the rise, it's my time Try to stop me from finding glory But it's my turn to break the tide
