A Higher Place

People walking all around
With their faces on the ground
Sometimes it seems life ain't worth giving
Bills piling 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
Lift your head up high
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

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
Get your hands up in the air
Gonna take you higher

Your life girl sounds the same
Is life just someone else's game
Is there a place beyond confusion
Does it mean that 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

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
Get your hands up in the air
Gonna take you higher

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
Get your hands up in the air
Gonna take you higher

After all that's said and done
After war is waged and won
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 bodies 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

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
Get your hands up in the air
Gonna take you higher

We're moving on up
(Moving on up, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Just one more time
(Just one more time)
I'm gonna spread my wings and take to the sky

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
Get your hands up in the air
Gonna take you higher

We're moving on up (we're moving on up, yeah)
To a higher place
Where the people sing and dance
Under amazing grace (ohhhh)
Just one more time
To see the sun start to shine
Get your hands up in the air
Gonna take you higher
