Joey Jones - Higher Lyrics

The non-believers said keep dreaming kid
Who does he think he is, stick to the script
Or get a sweeping gig

Reaching for the stars in the dark, it's pretty hard
When your heart's already broken and scarred, uh

This for every kid, who ever had to struggle
Who had to hustle, who busted every bone and muscle
In their body, with nobody really cheering them on
If you feel this like I feel this then start singing along

Because, all my life was so low (solo)
But that's why I wrote this song
To get a little higher, together we'll get through the fire
And nobodies gonna stop us now, yeah

Haters gonna hate anyways
Go and let em say, what they wanna say
This is to inspire, a new generation to rise up
Cause nobodies gonna take us down

I fought through racists, fought through hatred, fought through anguish
Through depression, homelessness in my adolescence
I use to question, what is my purpose in life
I found my answer, but I lacked the courage inside

This is for the children who are shining and so brilliant
I want you to believe in yourself and stay resilient
They use to say there's no way you can do it fool
Nowadays, now they say, damn man I'm proud of you

Cause, all my life was so low (solo)
But that's why I wrote this song
To get a little higher, together we'll get through the fire
And nobodies gonna stop us now, yeah

Haters gonna hate anyways
Go and let em say, what they wanna say
This is to inspire, a new generation to rise up
Cause nobodies gonna take us down
