The Imperials
Higher Things
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'
Gotta keep reachin'
For higher things
Gotta keep reachin'
You must keep reachin'
Gotta keep reachin'
For higher things, yeah
Gotta keep reachin'
You must keep reachin'
Gotta keep reachin'
For higher things
Gotta keep reachin'
For higher things
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
Gotta keep reachin'
