Lyrics

Higher

I'm a king, yes, I'm a head of state
But I'm the kitchen boy who'll wash your dirty plate
I had no message and the message was
We're all jesus, buddha, and the wizard of oz

I'm merely a man
And I bring nothing but love for you
I'm merely a man
And I want nothing that you can't do

And you know it's true
That with logic and love we'll be lifting humanity higher
Higher

I'm all religious figures rolled into one
Gaddafy duck propelled from jimmy swaggart's tommy gun
Don't promise rainbows with some golden pot
In fact what I can offer I know you've already got

I'm merely a man
And I bring nothing but love for you
I'm merely a man
And I want nothing that you can't do

And you know it's true
That with logic and love we'll have power enough
To raise consciousness up and for lifting humanity higher
Higher!

And you know it's true
We should chase superstition and fear from our hearts
If we're going to survive and take levels of sanity higher
Kick it up... higher

I'm merely a man
And I bring nothing but love for you
I'm merely a man
And I want nothing that you can't do

And you know it's true
That with logic and love we'll have power enough
To raise consciousness up and for lifting humanity higher
