Lyrics
HIGHER
(Adam Dunning)
© 2018 Sunset Club Music
“What will be”, they’ve all sung
But the hope is not much fun
I feel the way
Monkey see, as monkey do
But it’s bigger than the cool
I fly away
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba bye yi yeah
What to say, what to feel, what to do
Will be easy if it’s true
Be it, feel it, anywhere
Free all the things we know
A flower never knows how to grow
My mind’s high up there
And when the dark, takes the sun
And the laces come undone
Feel that it’s there
Feel the ebb and the flow
The sun will live and you will know, so
Rise higher, in the air
