So High
Antiserum & Mayhem Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, he′s so high [(so high you can't get over him)]
So wide [(so wide you can′t get around him)]
So low [(so low you can't get under him)]
Great God almighty [(you must come in at the door)]

Oh well, he's high (
He′s wide [(so wide you can′t get around him)]
So low [(so low you can't get under him)]

The mighty lamb [(you must come in at the door)]

Well I went down in the valley
You know I did over there ever stay
My soul got happy in the valley
You know I stayed right there all day

It′s high [(so high you can't get over him)]
And he′s wide [(so wide you can't get around him)]
I know it′s so low [(so low you can't get under him)]
The mighty lamb [(you must come in at the door)]

Well I ain't been to heaven
But I′m, I′m told
The streets the streets are pearls
You know the mighty mighty mighty gates are gold

And he's high [(so high you can′t get over him)]
So wide [(so wide you can't get around him)]
He′s so low [(so low you can't get under him)]
The mighty lamb [(you must come in at the door)]

Well, he′s high (so high you can't get over him)
And he's wide (so wide you can′t get around him)

I know he′s so low (so low you can't get under him)
The mighty lamb (you must come in at the door)
