Higher Power

I was alone, I was a starving eremite without a home
 And the sand in the hourglass pouring on
 A howling wolf without a pack, little did I know
 There was a seed
 And with some water and attention it would lead
 Into a leaf turning into a tree
 Roots spreading through the darkest woods, little did I know
 I didn't know
 I see a higher power rise
 A spirit larger than life
 Cuttin' right through the fire
 Turning the wind, right before my eyes
 I see a higher power rise
 A spirit larger than life
 Digging right through the dirt
 Releasing the dam, and so I arise
 On my own
 Kept walking through the wilderness 'til I had grown
 Into a thousand-year-old oak, give me a throne
 And I'll wear the crown of thorns, little did I know
 I didn't know
 I see a higher power rise
 A spirit larger than life
 Cuttin' right through the fire
 Turning the wind, right before my eyes
 I see a higher power rise
 A spirit larger than life
 Digging right through the dirt
 Releasing the dam, and so I arise
 And so, I arise
 Oh, I didn't know
 And so I arise
 Oh, I didn't know, oh, oh
 I see a higher power rise
 A spirit larger than life
 Cuttin' right through the fire
 Turning the wind, right before my eyes
 I see a higher power rise
 A spirit larger than life
 Digging right through the dirt
 Releasing the dam, and so I arise
 And so I arise
