8. Higher (6:29)
Freed of the world
Shed of the weight
Onward to see you, my friend
Light years above (Take me higher)
Time seems to wait (Take me higher)
Promise to see you again (Higher, high)
It haunts to remember
All the memories of that day
Pre-flight demonstration
Led to desperate voices fueled by flames
Now I'm out here waiting
Hoping you would send a sign
Came a million miles
And the earth grows small as I lovingly leave it behind
Freed of the world
Shed of the weight
Onward to see you, my friend
We seem to have found it
All the hope we've been denied
There's more than we've been told
Had to find it on the other side
Now I must be dreaming
Face against the frozen glass
But there's no return now
And the blazing worlds salute
As we go flying past
Freed of the world
Shed of the weight
Onward to see you, my friend
Light years above (Take me higher)
Time seems to wait (Take me higher)
Promise to see you again (Higher, high)
Freed of the world
Shed of the weight
Onward to see you, my friend
Light years above (Take me higher)
Time seems to wait (Take me higher)
Promise to see you again (Higher, high)
Meet you in the stars tonight
There you find me drifting in the ether within the lull
[x4]
Shed of the weight
Onward to see you, my friend
Light years above (Take me higher)
Time seems to wait (Take me higher)
Promise to see you again (Higher, high)
It haunts to remember
All the memories of that day
Pre-flight demonstration
Led to desperate voices fueled by flames
Now I'm out here waiting
Hoping you would send a sign
Came a million miles
And the earth grows small as I lovingly leave it behind
Freed of the world
Shed of the weight
Onward to see you, my friend
We seem to have found it
All the hope we've been denied
There's more than we've been told
Had to find it on the other side
Now I must be dreaming
Face against the frozen glass
But there's no return now
And the blazing worlds salute
As we go flying past
Freed of the world
Shed of the weight
Onward to see you, my friend
Light years above (Take me higher)
Time seems to wait (Take me higher)
Promise to see you again (Higher, high)
Freed of the world
Shed of the weight
Onward to see you, my friend
Light years above (Take me higher)
Time seems to wait (Take me higher)
Promise to see you again (Higher, high)
Meet you in the stars tonight
There you find me drifting in the ether within the lull
