Take me to that place, higher
Go, hold on, go
(Take me higher)
(Take me higher)

In my mind I see the possibilities
When it comes to love there are no boundaries
Do you think that you and I can work it out
That's what true love's about
Baby we can find an answer if we look inside our hearts
Love will be there waiting for us
Baby we can rise above it if we leave our doubts behind us
We can learn to fly high above us

There's a place up in the sky
Where the sun is shining
Take me higher
(Take me higher)
There's a place I long to be
Where the birds are flying
Take me higher
(Take me higher)

See it on the news, there's trouble everywhere
Gotta reach out show somebody that you care
It ain't good to let the bad news get us down
Let's spread some love around
Even if you want to go there, to a place above the clouds
Got to feel the power of love
Baby we can rise above it if we leave our doubts behind
We can learn to fly high above us

There's a place up in the sky
Where the sun is shining
Take me higher
(Take me higher)
There's a place I long to be
Where the birds are flying
Take me higher
(Take me higher)

There's a place up in the sky
Where the sun is shining
Take me higher
(Take me higher)
There's a place I long to be
Where the birds are flying
Take me higher
(Take me higher)

Gotta reach out
Feel the power of love
Show somebody you care
Take me

Oh baby
Take me higher
Take me higher

There's a place up in the sky
Where the sun is shining
Take me higher
(Take me higher)
There's a place I long to be
Where the birds are flying
Take me higher
(Take me higher)

There's a place up in the sky
Where the sun is shining
Take me higher
(Take me higher)
There's a place I long to be
Where the birds are flying
Take me higher
(Take me higher)

Take me higher
Take me, take me
Take me higher
(Take me higher)
Take me higher
Take me, take me
Take me higher
(Take me higher)

Take me higher
Take me, take me
Take me higher
(Take me higher)
Take me higher
Take me, take me
Take me higher
(Take me higher)

There's a place up in the sky
Where the sun is shining
Take me higher
(Take me higher)
There's a place I long to be
I want to go flying
(Take me higher)
