I got something burning in my chest
An ocean made of embers unexpressed
Flickers from a heartbeat that won't change
And when my moment comes, I've set my aim
I know that I'm lucky, yeah, I got it good
Still my body's restless, always on the move
It's in my bloodstream, I
Think I'm ready for a higher ground
Finding my reasons why
'Cause I never wanna slow down
Ooh, ooh
Yeah, I never wanna slow down
Ooh, ooh
Think I'm ready for a higher ground
People say, "A fire's bound to fade"
But when I want it bad, I just can't wait
You can be a cynic all you want
But when I'm on my feet, I give my all
I know that I'm lucky, yeah, I got it good
Still my body's restless, always on the move
It's in my bloodstream, I
Think I'm ready for a higher ground
Finding my reasons why
'Cause I never wanna slow down
Ooh, ooh
Yeah, I never wanna slow down
Ooh, ooh
Think I'm ready for a higher ground
Call me naive, I got wide eyes
But if it goes to hell, I know I tried
It's in my bloodstream, I
Think I'm ready for a higher ground
Finding my reasons why
'Cause I never wanna slow down
Ooh, ooh
Yeah, I never wanna slow down
Ooh, ooh
Think I'm ready for a higher ground
Ooh, ooh, ooh
