Higher Road Lyrics

I was living life for me

I just turned 23

Didn't know where I was going

But that's when he found me

Took me in with a voice

And a melody so sweet

Colorful past of wrongs

With a chance to paint it differently

A reason for his rules

Although I never seem to follow

Consequences always chasing me

We're a hard pill to swallow

On that sunny Sunday morning

Church choir singing loud and clear

We've got a greater life for ya child

Listen now with open ears

Two wrongs won't make a right

But three rights will make a left

If you try to make it quick

You will come full circle with regret

Try to map this journey out

But you get there when you get there

Stay the course

No matter how slow

There ain't no shortcuts

On the higher road

On the higher road

Every night I masquerade in the city of Angels

Every day is a battle that I fight with myself

Drinks and dancing to disguise all the demons

Trying to take me from my purpose

And take away my reason

My light is shining brighter with every right choice

Feeding my fire and strengthening my voice

Two wrongs won't make a right

But three rights will make a left

And if you try to make it quick

you will come full circle with regret

Try to map this journey out

but you get there when you get there

Stay the course

No matter how slow

There ain't no shortcuts

On the higher road

On the higher road

The temptation of tomorrow

Taking away the beauty of today

The thought of flying to touch the sky

But your wings won't carry all of your weight

Two wrongs won't make a right

But three rights will make a left

And if you try to make it quick

You will come full circle with regret

Try to map this journey out

But you get there when you get there

Stay the course

No matter how slow

There ain't no shortcuts

On the higher road

On the higher road
