Higher Ground

I got something burning in my chest
 An ocean made of embers unexpressed
 Flickers from a heartbeat that won't change
 And when my moment comes, I've set my aim
 I know that I'm lucky, yeah, I got it good
 Still my body's restless, always on the move
 It's in my bloodstream, I
 Think I'm ready for a higher ground
 Finding my reasons why
 'Cause I never wanna slow down
 Ooh, ooh
 Yeah, I never wanna slow down
 Ooh, ooh
 Think I'm ready for a higher ground
 People say, "A fire's bound to fade"
 But when I want it bad, I just can't wait
 You can be a cynic all you want
 But when I'm on my feet, I give my all
 I know that I'm lucky, yeah, I got it good
 Still my body's restless, always on the move
 It's in my bloodstream, I
 Think I'm ready for a higher ground
 Finding my reasons why
 'Cause I never wanna slow down
 Ooh, ooh
 Yeah, I never wanna slow down
 Ooh, ooh
 Think I'm ready for a higher ground
 Call me naive, I got wide eyes
 But if it goes to hell, I know I tried
 It's in my bloodstream, I
 Think I'm ready for a higher ground
 Finding my reasons why
 'Cause I never wanna slow down
 Ooh, ooh
 Yeah, I never wanna slow down
 Ooh, ooh
 Think I'm ready for a higher ground
 Ooh, ooh, ooh
