I was standing on the corner, Saw the Lord across the border, Take me higher. I was looking for a savior, Knew the Lord heals my behavior, Take me higher - Take me home! I was speeding down the highway And I thought it could be my way, Take me higher. I was drawing my attention To receive the highest mention And I set myself on fire. Take me higher, Take me higher, Take me home! When he took the crown of torture I was gambling on my future, Take me higher. As the pain destroyed the living He was still about the giving I denied my own desire. Take me higher, Take me higher, Take me home! When I'm searching for my reason he does everything to please me. When I'm deep down in the valley he reaches out a hand for me. When the limits overwhelm me he points out for me the open sea. And when death is there to take me he's the one who comes and saves me.
