A Higher Place
Peyton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
with their faces on the ground,
sometimes it seems life aint worth giving,
just flying high up out the door
just when you think you can't take no more
you wanna lay down and just give in
Here's what ya gotta do
move your body to the rhythms of a bluer sky
put this old world behind you where it belongs
close your eyes and come with me
let's sing a different song
[Chorus]
We're moving on up
to a higher place
where the people sing and dance
under amazing grace
just one more time
to see the sun start to shine
and your
hands up in the air
it'll take you higher
your life girl sounds the same
is life just someone elses game
is there a place beyond confusion
does it mean we do not know
some place that we are meant to go
or is it just one more delusion
Here's what ya gotta do
lift your head up high
move your body to the rhythms of a bluer sky
put this old world behind you where it belongs
change is coming don't you worry
now it wont be long
[Repeat Chorus X 2]
After all that's said and done
after war is waged in one
there is one thing left to believe in
If you can rise up from your bed
shake off the shackles clear your head
this life is yours and it's for living
Here's what we gotta do
lift our heads up high
move our bodys to the rhythms of a bluer sky
put this old world behind us where it belongs
everybody come with me and start to sing my song
[Repeat Chorus X 2]
We're moving on up
(moving on up, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.....)
Just one more time
(Just one more time)
We're moving on up
(We're moving on up, yeah, yeah, yeah.....)
moving on, moving on, moving on, moving on up
Just one more time
Just one more time,
I'm gonna spread my wings and take to the sky
[Repeat Chorus X 2]
