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 the place where blind men see 
Can you take me higher? 
To the 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 the place where blind men see 
Can you take me higher? 
To the place with golden streets

Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time 
Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams 
And make them mine
