You know you've had your way
Of grace and love to date
But all you ever knew
Will now just fade away
Can you cap it off?
Can you find a way to stay
You know you never had
A finely crafted way
 
And don't you crawl
 
That smile won't hide the shame
You learned your lines instead
Your feckless singing out will never make a change
And you know belief's a start
But you can't write new limits
So you feel it instead
 
Lord, please look the other way
I can't seem to find a place we both can stand
Higher, higher, higher
Higher than high
 
I can't hear all you say
It's easier than speaking down
And don't you crawl
And don't you crawl
 
That smile won't hide the shame
You learned your lines instead
Your feckless singing out will never make a change
And you know belief's a start
And you can't write new limits
But you feel it instead
 
Lord, please look the other way
I can't seem to find a place we both can stand
Higher, higher, higher
Higher than high
 
And everything will change you know it
Right from the start
And even if we make it up dear
We will feel it instead
 
So lord, please look the other way
I still can't seem to find a place we both can stand
Higher, higher, higher
Higher than high
