Riding on a High

RIDING ON A HIGH

My mind awoke to the familiar flame

And the light cut through like the edge of a blade

And I soaked in the world like the gaze of a child's eyes

I walked down that dirt road to the river's mouth

See I had my doubts so I drowned them out

There ain't nothing like holy water to ease the pain

Cause i've been riding on a high

It's a feeling I can't describe

It sets me free like a river running wild

The cloud's cried and the world was revived

And I watched the shadows drift away like a tide

And I knew I'd arrived in the place i was meant to be

Cause i've been weaving a dream

And reading the signs

So I stood on the edge of the earth for a while

And I let the fear I held inside me fall away

Cause I've been riding on a high

It's a feeling I can't describe

It sets me free like a river running wild

And sometimes when I feel alone

There's a place where I can go

And float my worries all the way down

To the sea

I find the hardest of my days are often ones I embrace

Sometimes it takes a bit of pain for me to sharpen this blade

Don't underestimate your strength or the effect it can make

I've seen the smallest ripples turn into tumultuous waves

Like rain over snow I flash flood on a page

It'd be insane for me to keep these thoughts locked in a cage

Like a hawk to his prey I stay on top of my game

If the journey's the destination

I'm getting back on the plane cause

I'm out on a mission the limits are all in the mind

I'm living my vision conditioned to kill it

I built the will to survive

I've been thriving like the wild

I've been climbing towards the sky

I've been rolling I've been floating

I've been riding on a high

C'mon

Cause I've been riding on a high

It's a feeling I can't describe

It sets me free like a river running wild

And sometimes when I feel alone
