Down here in the trenches
I know what I'm fighting for
Come back to my senses
I'm ready for something more
I can face all of my mistakes
I'll be brave, hmm
It's okay, finally
I'm awake, I'm away
I fall back down, but I'm looking up
Each heart breaks end up the ladder
You're there to lift me up, lift me up
Higher
Higher
Oh, oh
No glory in silence
I'm trying to live out loud
Rise up though I'm crying, hmm
I'm free, let the fear run out
I can face all of my mistakes
I'll be brave, oh
It's okay, finally
I'm awake, I'm away
I fall back down, but I'm looking up
Each heart breaks end up the ladder
You're there to lift me up, lift me up
Higher
I fall back down, but I'm looking up
Each heart breaks end up the ladder
You're there to lift me up, lift me up
Higher
Higher
Higher
Oh, oh
Wherever you take me
You will not beat me
Finally, I'm where I belong
Wherever you take me
You elevate me
Finally, I am not alone
Mmm, hmm, hmm
You're there to lift me up, lift me up
Higher
I fall back down, but I'm looking up
Each heart breaks end up the ladder
You're there to lift me up, lift me up
Higher
Higher
Higher
Oh!
You're lifting me up
Higher
So high, so high
