Verse Number One:
While working a fence on a Montana ranch
.noonday sun setting high
A cowboy noticed a nest on the ground
.that had fallen from a ledge in the sky
He walked on over
there he discovered
an egg unbroken, unharmed
..
So with his loving touch
he picked it up
and placed it with the hens in his yard
Verse Number Two:
Time passed, the egg hatched
.a new life revealed.. an eagle in a world not its own
Though he tried to be
.and he tried to feel
. like the others
he knew it was wrong
He could not conform, would not perform
.all the deeds they wanted him to
.
But with each day he dreamed
.of the freedom it seemed
that there waited beyond the blue
THE CHORUS:
COME UP HIGHER
YOU'VE BEEN BOUND BY THE WORLD TOO LONG
.
COME UP HIGHER
..COME UP WHERE YOU BELONG
.
EYE HATH NOT SEEN
NOR EAR HAS IT HEARD
.
JUST WHAT IS IN STORE FOR YOU
.
YOU CAN FLY HIGHER
..THERE'S A HIGHER CALLING IN YOU
..

Verse Number Three
One day unexpected
.a shadow appeared
.a cry rang out from the sky
..
While the others all ran and trembled in fear
the eagle lifted up his eye
What he saw there
flying high in the air
was the life he knew there could be
So with tears streaming down
he rose from the ground
ever more to be free
THE CHORUS:
COME UP HIGHER
YOU'VE BEEN BOUND BY THE WORLD TOO LONG
.
COME UP HIGHER
..COME UP WHERE YOU BELONG
.
EYE HATH NOT SEEN
NOR EAR HAS IT HEARD
.
JUST WHAT IS IN STORE FOR YOU
.
YOU CAN FLY HIGHER
..THERE'S A HIGHER CALLING IN YOU
..
