higher - jay kuo lyrics

[verse 1]
there once was a little girl playing on a swing set
one her grandpa built by the sycamore tree
near the rusty farm yard gate
and while her mama pinned the laundry, the little girl would cry out loud
push me higher, push me higher, push me i can’t wait
her mama would push a couple times, but there was laundry still to do
so she learned to use our own strength, pull her own weight, push on through

[chorus]
to swing higher, higher than before
higher, but scared to reach for something more
higher, higher towards the sky
until the day she bent to kiss, her mama a last goodbye

[verse 2]
there once was a little boy who loved that swing set
he had a licorice twist from the store in town, and two kn-bby skinned up knees
while his sister pinned the laundry, that little boy would cry out loud
push me higher, push me higher, push me pretty please
the girl would push a couple times, but there was laundry still to do
then she watched amazed as suddenly, he pulled his own weight through

[chorus]
to swing higher, higher than she dared
higher, he flew so high, but wasn’t scared
higher, he could touch the sky
right then she knew that he would also, one day tell her goodbye

[verse 3]
that little boy, he seemed so sure, was it something never taught to her
how the years p-ssed quickly by, that girl’s a woman still afraid to try
is it too late to start again, get back that feeling i had then
but now my life is upside down, there’s no more farm, there’s no more town
and no use asking why, but i won’t let it p-ss me by, life won’t p-ss me by
i’ll fly, get back on that swing

[outro]
higher, soaring higher up than anything
higher, i want something more
i dreamed i’d reach for greater things
my eyes upon those golden rings
i’ll take what chance the future brings
and soar
