Higher Ground
Amy Diamond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh oooh oooh
Oh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oh oooh oooh
Oh oooh oooh
Oh oooh oooh oooh oooh
And I am somewhere else far, far away
It's like I'm standing upon a mountain
And for a minute I'm gone for the day
Looking for an air balloon
That could take me up this afternoon
Leave before it get's too dark
Here in my heart
Come run away now
Keep trying, keep flying
To the mighty rainbow
Keep hunting high and low
Come fly away now
Together, forever
You know that nothing's gonna keep us down
Let's fly away into a higher ground
Oh oooh oooh
Oh oooh oooh
Oh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Into a higher ground
Oh oooh oooh
Oh oooh oooh
Oh oooh oooh oooh oooh
The grass is greener
The air is cleaner
Or so it seems to be
On the other side
You know it's different
Summer like winter
But it doesn't have to be
As two worlds collide
Everything is beautiful
And nothing should be impossible, no no
Leave before it get's too dark
Here in my heart
Come run away now
Keep trying, keep flying
To the mighty rainbow
Keep hunting high and low
Come fly away now
Together, forever
You know that nothing's gonna keep us down
Let's fly away into a higher ground
Oh oooh oooh
Oh oooh oooh
Oh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Into a higher ground
Oh oooh oooh
Oh oooh oooh
Oh oooh oooh oooh oooh
It's getting late
And you're not alone
Come on let's take a ride
Into the great unknown
I know it's hard
To be worlds apart
But I will show you the way
To a higher ground
To a higher ground
Come run away now
Keep trying, keep flying
To the mighty rainbow
Keep hunting high and low
Come fly away now
Together, forever
You know that nothing's gonna keep us down
Let's fly away into a higher ground
Oh oooh oooh
Oh oooh oooh
Oh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Into a higher ground
Oh oooh oooh
Oh oooh oooh
Oh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Into a higher ground

Sometimes it feels like I am dreaming
At times, I experience surreal feelings
And I am somewhere else far, far away
And I am lost in a different place, miles away
It's like I'm standing upon a mountain
It is akin to standing on top of a mountain
And for a minute I'm gone for the day
And for a brief period, I'm preoccupied with the moment
Looking for an air balloon
Trying to find a balloon to board
That could take me up this afternoon
That would lift me into the sky this very day
Leave before it gets too dark
Depart prior to darkness setting in
Here in my heart
Somewhere deep inside my heart
Come run away now
Let us escape right now
Keep trying, keep flying
Persist in trying and soaring
To the mighty rainbow
Towards the powerful rainbow
Keep hunting high and low
Search high and low for it
Come fly away now
Join me in flying away
Together, forever
Always together
You know that nothing's gonna keep us down
Nothing can impede us
Let's fly away into a higher ground
Let's fly towards greater heights
The grass is greener
The grass appears to be greener
The air is cleaner
The air is fresher
Or so it seems to be
That's how it appears
On the other side
On the opposite side
You know it's different
You understand it's not the same
Summer like winter
It might be hot like summer or cold like winter
But it doesn't have to be
Yet, it doesn't have to be like that
As two worlds collide
As two worlds intersect
Everything is beautiful
Everything is lovely
And nothing should be impossible, no no
Nothing should be beyond the realm of possibility
It's getting late
Time is running out
And you're not alone
But you're not abandoned
Come on let's take a ride
Let's go on a journey
Into the great unknown
Into an unfamiliar territory
I know it's hard
I understand it's challenging
To be worlds apart
To be distant from each other
But I will show you the way
But I'll show you the right path
To a higher ground
To an elevated, better place
