innervisions of higher ground - halaj pharaoh-jali lialu lyrics

[intro]
stevie wonder
homage

[hook]
we can’t turn back
now, innervisions of higher ground
it’s difficult to see through the fog in this valley
but you and me will break free from this challenge

[verse one]
the journey begins, no returning from here
before we take the first step lets set a bonfire
burn the intelligence which is constantly questioning
the leadership of the spirit, let the smoke fill
the sky so our families will know that we’re alright
this expedition isn’t for everyone. why?
cause we trail off the path and don’t use world maps
naw, we just listen to the innervisions of the spirit
so

[hook]
we can’t turn back
now, innervisions of higher ground
it’s difficult to see through the fog in this valley
but you and me will break free from this challenge
so, we can’t turn back
now, innervisions of higher ground
it’s difficult to see through the fog in this valley
but you and me will break free from this challenge

[verse two]
not doing much talking as we’re walking
focusing on our breath as we tread through the valley
of the shadow of death but shadows don’t dictate
direction they ain’t nothing but an inverse reflection
so, we keep it stepping and we keep it climbing knowing
that all things arrive on divine time and
we’re tired from the refinement of the fire, but in
the face of the searing flames the innervsion proclaims
that

[hook]
we can’t turn back
now, innervisions of higher ground
it’s difficult to see through the fog in this valley
but you and me will break free from this challenge

[verse three]
she left her job. (what else?) i left my school. (what else?)
we’ve both been labeled and are expected to lose
but we can’t think about what they think about us
lest we go blind to insight living our life through their eyes
they wouldn’t hear our strike so we took a hike but
for the soul on ice it’s a much tougher terrain
cause of climate change but in the face of the rising
tide the innervision inspires us to fight
so

[verse four]
we’ve entered the realm where we
must battle ourselves yeah, we’ve
become one with the fire and one with the water
we’ve acquired the awareness that there is no other
but on the left shoulder looms the lower self
fighting the enlightenment and dragging me through h-ll
and right before i was about to turn back
the innervision perched on both shoulders and whispered
when it seems that all has gone wrong, just sing this song!

[verse five]
we’ve come so far since the bonfire
when we were questioning the left right left stressed that we
might misstep now we accept that the innervision
knows best, the challenge of faith – check
and we transcended time we use to be bound
by kronos, but now we operate by kairos
so when the bold wind blew in the fire next time
we were one with the flame to fly like the phoenix
but we flew with our head down looking to
the crowd to affirm our existence all we heard was crickets
then we learned that the placement of attention determines
the quickness of the attainment of our aims so we raised
our eyes to finish the fight and break free
from the veil upheld by two warring ideals
i cried as a part of myself died then
the innervsion whispered we have arrived
now look at what you
found you stand in wisdom on
higher ground
thank you, god
