higher
Man with a Mission Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The ray of the sun pouring down,
come and purify
And save me from all that I see
From heaven will I hear the sound of eternity

大地の鼓動に包まれて ため息を一つ
抱えてた恐れは 空に見透かされた
白紙の地図を開き 思う色に塗りつぶす
駆け出し 目を見開く 奇跡の始まりが羽ばたく

光が身をほどく
Can we go higher than the falling sky
大地踏みしめて
We jump in the land to dance in the air so high
彼方のその向こうへ
So raise me higher than the falling sky
駆け抜けてみせて
We jump in the land to dance in the air so high

熱を帯びたままの心を 冷ますことはない
忘れないように 記憶重ねるのさ

あらがう また問いだす 間違っていないはずだと
変えない 変えられない 想いをただ焦がし続けてく

光が身をほどく
Can we go higher than the falling sky
大地踏みしめて
We jump in the land to dance in the air so high
彼方のその向こうへ
So raise me higher than the falling sky
駆け抜けてみせて
We jump in the land to dance in the air so high

And am I still… But yes I will
Can we go higher than the falling sky
羽はたいてみせて
We jump in the land to dance in the air so high
彼方のその向こうへ
So raise me higher than the falling sky




駆け抜けてみせて
We jump in the land to dance in the air so high

The ray of the sun pouring down, come and purify
And save me from all that I see
From heaven will I hear the sound of eternity

Daichi no kodou ni tsutsuma rete tameiki o hitotsu
Kakae teta osore wa sora ni misukasa reta

Hakushi no chizu o hiraki omou iro ni nuritsubusu
Kakedashi me o mihiraku kiseki no hajimari ga habataku

Hikari ga mi o hodoku can we go higher than the falling sky
Daichi fumishimete we jump in the land to dance in the air so high
Kanata no sono mukou e so raise me higher than the falling sky
Kakenukete misete we jump in the land to dance in the air so high

Netsu o obita mama no kokoro o samasu koto wanai
Wasurenai you ni kioku kasaneru no sa

Aragau mata toi dasu machigatte inai hazudato
Kaenai kaerarenai omoi o tada kogashi tsudzukete ku

Hikari ga mi o hodoku can we go higher than the falling sky
Daichi fumishimete we jump in the land to dance in the air so high
Kanata no sono mukou e so raise me higher than the falling sky
Kakenukete misete we jump in the land to dance in the air so high

Let in the rhythm break down the noise
To make yaself groove lit up ya mind boyz
Get you in the ring replace the damn fear
What's it gonna be it's your last chance dear
So jump in the air get up in the sky
Or down to the ground just to live and die dry
You damn know what to do
Now it's calling falling? Roll it on to go

And am I still but yes I will
Can we go higher than the falling sky
Habataite misete we jump in the land to dance in the air so high
Kanata no sono mukou e so raise me higher than the falling sky
Kakenukete misete we jump in the land to dance in the air so high

Daichi fumishimete

man with a mission is one of the most underrated bands from Japan on the western hemisphere

@MsRichardyang

But do they care? They get to play at budokan or yokohama arena whenever they want to and every single time it's sold out in seconds.

@thatukguy156

John Young indeed

@Demonkingpicleso

I want to see them live so fucking bad

@SliceOfDog

That might be starting to change. They kicked ass at their set at Download this weekend. I'd never heard of them before, and went just because I was curious about the wolf masks. Now I'm definitely going to be buying their albums. I can't have been the only one, either. I'm confident they'll crack the West and get the attention they deserve eventually!

The greatest their concert at Koshien, I was there that time with hesitation to study abroad.
As the concert continues, I was lost in their very songs, still can’t be decided. And I’d never thought they play my most favorite song, “higher”, but they did incredibly.
At the moment I heard the intro of higher, I decided to be in here, the U.K, to be higher.
Your are my hope and power.
Thanks Wolfs and till we meet again.
