Higher

This song was one of Richie's favorite songs. He used to play it all the time and after a while it drove me nuts. But today on my way into work I put his Creed cd on and it made me feel as if he is Higher now. I know he didn't want to go but I know that where he is is a better place...

When dreaming I'm guided through another world
Time and time again At sunrise I fight to stay asleep
'Cause I don't want to leave the comfort of this place
'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape
From the life I live when I'm awake

So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?
Can you take me higher?
To the place where blind men see
Can you take me higher?
To the place with golden streets

Although I would like our world to change
It helps me to appreciate Those nights and those dreams
But, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights
If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same
The only difference is To let love replace all our hate

So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?

Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time
Up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams
And make them mine

So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?
