2013年美国好声音 Higher Love - Jake Barker

Think about it, There must be higher love

Down in the heart¹ or hidden² in the stars above

Without it, life³ is wasted⁴ time

Look inside⁵ your heart I'll look inside mine

Things look so bad everywhere

In this whole⁶ world, what is fair⁷?

We walk blind⁸ and we try to see

Falling behind in what could⁹ be (yeah)

Bring me a higher love

Bring me a higher love (oh)

Bring me a higher love

Where's that higher love I keep thinking¹⁰ of?

Worlds are turning¹¹ and we're just hanging¹² on

Facing our fears¹³ and standing¹⁴ out there alone¹⁵

A yearning¹⁶, and it's real¹⁷ to me

There must be someone¹⁸ who's feeling¹⁹ for me

Things look so bad everywhere

In this whole world, what is fair?

We walk blind and we try to see

Falling behind in what could be (yeah)

Bring me a higher love

Bring me a higher love (oh)

Bring me a higher love

I could rise²⁰ above on a higher love

I will wait for it

I'm not too late for it

Until²¹ then, I'll sing my song

Too cheer²² the night along²³

Bring me a higher love

Ya know I've been thinking,

what this world needs is some higher love

So let's sing

One! Two! Kick²⁴ it in boys!

Bring me a higher love

Bring me a higher love (oh)

Bring me a higher love

Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?

Bring me a higher love

Bring me a higher love (oh)

Bring me a higher love

Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?
