Verse 1:
Making a list of the things I’ve done
Just a glimpse of who I’ve become
Who I’ve been and who I’d like to be
I’ve walked through fire and I’ve stood in the rain
I’ve shed my skin and I’ve changed my name
Now everything that you need is all I want to be
Chorus:
I’ll be there when all your stars fade out
Be there when your faith comes crashing down
When you lose a fire you can’t replace
I’ll carry you there, I’ll take you away
Take me to a higher place
Verse 2:
Making a wish on every star
Wondering how you fell so far
You’re reaching out for any hand to hold
You reach for love You reach for truth
You cry out for the days of youth
You’re in the warmth of the sun but you’re still growing cold
Chorus:
Bridge:
My world is breaking down (Take me to a higher place)
My head is filled with doubt (Take me to a higher place)
Take me to a higher place…
