Head To The Sky ft. Christian Johnson Lyrics

I keep my head to the sky

I'm gonna follow my dreams

On the Lord I rely

Cuz this world is so mean

I keep my head to the sky

No matter what life brings

I have a look in my eyes

Soaring as I flap my wings

To go higher, higher, higher

To go higher, higher, higher

To go higher, higher, higher

To go higher, higher, higher

To go higher, higher, higher

To go higher, higher, higher

To go higher, higher, higher

To go higher, higher, higher

Dreams transformed to nightmares before my eyes

Friends pulled wool off, revealed wolves in disguise

Many opportunities faced derailment

While leaving the station – Hellish assailment

I was running, then walking, now crippled

My disappointment doubled, now tripled

Saw the darkness, started to wade in it

Led to the cave where I hibernated in

Prepared to die like dogs hiding in the woods

Accepted death, but had one last fight for good

Started slowly, silently speaking scriptures

Purposeful prayer positioned the picture

Looked from another angle, saw the beauty

His image etched in me, understood acutely

Like Lazarus, arise from dead to alive

Rely and trust God, keep my head to the sky

I keep my head to the sky

I'm gonna follow my dreams

On the Lord I rely

Cuz this world is so mean

I keep my head to the sky

No matter what life brings

I have a look in my eyes

Soaring as I flap my wings

To go higher, higher, higher

To go higher, higher, higher

To go higher, higher, higher

To go higher, higher, higher

To go higher, higher, higher

To go higher, higher, higher

To go higher, higher, higher

To go higher, higher, higher

Arrived in NC with my belongings

Paranoid, afraid, I'm not belonging

Twenty-twelve, PhD, A&T

A year of unemployment, LMC

God promised full scholarship if I went

Landed on campus with teaching assistantship

Studied hard, 1st semester, made the A's

Won the Sloan Fellowship, helped bills get paid

Then won a full fellowship, Title III

All while my brain and faith are rivaling

Major blow, I failed my qualifier

My mind wants to give up and retire

Regrouped, passed exam and the proposal

Now seeing the end, tassels and the robe too

Before my defense, prayed, thanked God on High

Now Trav, PhD, my head to the sky

I keep my head to the sky

I'm gonna follow my dreams

On the Lord I rely

Cuz this world is so mean

I keep my head to the sky

No matter what life brings

I have a look in my eyes

Soaring as I flap my wings

To go higher, higher, higher

To go higher, higher, higher

To go higher, higher, higher

To go higher, higher, higher

To go higher, higher, higher

To go higher, higher, higher

To go higher, higher, higher

To go higher, higher, higher
