Higher Things - The Imperials

You walk the streets

In search of something to hold onto

Thinking there’s nobody you can trust

You’re feeling that the only thing to do

Is throw your dreams away, not today

Let me say

I know that something’s out there

Now’s not the time to give in

And with the odds against you

There’s still a chance

Gotta keep reachin'

You must keep reachin'

Gotta keep reachin'

For higher things

Gotta keep reachin'

You must keep reachin'

Gotta keep reachin'

For higher things

Check out the local church you passed

So many times before

You really feel the need for something new

So with no looking back and nothing to lose

I think it’s time that you accept the truth, yeah

'Cause I know you know what’s out there

You can feel the candle burning

You need to know the reason

There’s no place left to turn

Gotta keep reachin'

You must keep reachin'

Friend, I know where you’re comin' from

Seems your life’s under the gun

With no real chance of escape

There is hope right outside your door

It’s what you’ve been searchin' for

A love that will never fade

So don’t you run away, don’t run away

You can’t hide

I know that something’s out there

It’s not the time to give it up

I think you know the reason

Jesus is Lord
