When dreaming
I'm guided to another world
Time and time again
At sunrise, I fight to stay asleep
'Cause I don't want to leave the comfort of this place
'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape
From the life I live when I'm awake
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay
Can you take me higher
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me higher
To a place with golden streets
Although I would like our world to change
It helps me to appreciate
Those nights and those dreams
But my friend
I'd sacrifice all those nights
If I could make the earth and my dreams the same
The only difference is
To let love replace all our hate
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay
Can you take me higher
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me higher
To a place with golden streets
So let's go there
Let's go there
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay
Up high, I feel like I'm
Alive for the very first time
Said up high, I'm strong enough
To take these dreams
And make them mine
Said up high, I'm strong enough
To take these dreams
And make them mine
Can you take me higher
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me higher
To a place with golden streets
Can you take me higher
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me higher
To a place with golden streets
