It wasn't that long ago
You and I were sinking in the same old boat
Praying out "God please send some rope
SOS, I'm losing hope"
I was feeling that, feeling that low, low
Living that, living that, oh no
You stepped in and saved my soul
La de up and away we go to
Higher places that's where we go
Higher places, look out below, low
He picked me up and set me down
Right next to the throne
This world ain't got no hold on me
Headed for streets of gold
I'm goin' to higher places
Oh, ya know I ain't gotta wait
Now I got the code to the pearly gates
Got heaven right now, right here today
Ain't always been that way
I was feeling that, feeling that low, low
Living that, living that, oh no
You stepped in and saved my soul
La de up and away we go to
Higher places that's where we go
Higher places, look out below, low
He picked me up and set me down
Right next to the throne
This world ain't got no hold on me
Headed for streets of gold
I'm goin' to higher places
Higher places
Heaven bound, all around
I hear the angels singing
Let it rain, let it fall
Bring on that glory feeling
I was lost, now I'm found
And there's just one good reason
You let it rain, you let it fall
You brought that holy healing
Higher places that's where we go
Higher places, look out below, low
He picked me up and set me down
Right next to the throne
This world ain't got no hold on me
Headed for streets of gold
I'm goin' to higher places
Higher places
