Story Behind the Song
This song is about finding spiritual freedom while being wrongly or injustly incarcerated!
Lyrics
(VERSE 1)
The sunlight that came in was never pure
It was tattered and torn by the wires,
And every time they kicked me thinkin’ I was down,
My Spirit soared higher and higher
Stark white walls, or a rubber room,
Faith – tested by fire,
The preachin’s and the teachin’s couldn’t bring me down,
My Spirit soared higher and higher
(CHORUS)
Higher and Higher…oh,
Higher and higher…my Spirit
Soared higher and higher…
HI – IGH – ER!
(VERSE 2)
Cartoons at noon – a game of “spades”,
A new book to quench the desire,
Monotony became my friend, as my
Spirit soared higher and higher
Supper talks and miles of walks,
A phone call to get through the mire,
The friends I made – teachers became, as my
Spirit soared higher and higher
(RPT CHORUS)
(BRIDGE)
Hey mister! Can’t you see?
The heart that beats in me?
No matter what you say –
I’ll win Ev-‘ry day!
