CREED LYRICS
"Higher"
This song describes a spiritual awareness, the Golden streets he describes are commonly observed by those who do find their way into the upper realms, also in the movie Wizard of OZ (Wizard of Awes). In the verse, he says, can you take me to the place where blind men see. During experiments with entheogens, there is a large degree of tested subjects that can actually see again, their visions are apparent to them if they once had sight while under the influence of the entheogens. He also speaks of when he is dreaming, and this is the true place where we come from. His idea to make that place, and this place one defines the goal of any true spiritual adventurer.
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 a place where blind men see
Can you take me Higher?
To a 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?
Can you take me Higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me Higher?
To a place with golden streets
So lets go there, lets go there,
Come on, lets go there
Lets ask can we stay?
Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time
Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams
And make them mine
Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams
And make them mine
Can you take me Higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me Higher?
To a place with golden streets
Can you take me Higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me Higher?
To a place with golden streets
