High

No frantic, frenzied faces here;
No madness, no murky mental block;
No self-destructive, superficial sky...
What if love and mercy brought you here?
The gate awaits; just unlatch the lock.
Don't look back; it's time to say goodbye.

What if there really is a better way to soar?
What if I assured you there is? Would you try?
Here is the high your heart has been hoping for.
Have you ever known this kind of high?

No paranoia, no denial;
No danger, no crazy Russian roulette; 
No self-deceptive getaway...
Love won't fry your mind or defile
Your desperate heart, or leave you with a debt
You may not ever get to repay.

What if there really is a better way to soar?
What if I assured you there is? Would you try?
Here is the high your heart has been hoping for.
Have you ever known this kind of high?

Let it go, and let love in;
Leave the lies, and finally begin
The journey, the adventure you desire;
You just might find a road that leads you higher.

[musical interlude]

What if there really is a better way to soar?
What if I assured you there is? Would you try?
Here is the high your heart has been hoping for.
Have you ever known this kind of high?
