Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When it gets inside and takes a hold of you
You don't want to beat it
'Cause the pain subsides and the hurt is gone from you, woah
It makes you kinda wonder
What are we supposed to do, woah
When the fate of many
Elevating, elevating
No more hiding
Love is elevating love
Your light rising
Love is elevating love
You can't fight it
The love gets higher
The love gets higher
You can't fight it
The love gets high
Always gets higher
It's more than just a feeling
And it's growing stronger, brighter by the day
You just gotta feel it
And you just can't doubt it, you can't hide the truth, woah
All this light and this beauty
And it's shining down all over you, woah
When the fate of many
Is guided by the hands of few
No more hiding
Love is elevating love
Your light rising
Love is elevating love
You can't fight it
The love gets higher
The love gets higher
You can't fight it
The love gets high
Always gets higher
You can't fight it
The love gets higher
