"Higher Than Skies" is a happy-sad song about the fight it takes to keep going as an artist and the magical feeling that comes along with holding strong and pursuing the craft in defiance of all odds.

lyrics

Don’t you see
why I am writing a song
I feel alive all day
Like nothing is wrong
You put yourself into the world every day
Playing a game
I can’t play

Don’t tell me why I
I can’t sing these lullabies

I want to feel higher than skies
Want to feel, want to feel
Higher than stars, than the sun
I want to shine brighter
Then these clouds in the sky
All day and night

Walk in my shoes
For a mile or two
Stop telling me what I should
Don’t you know I live for what I do

Don’t you rain
Don’t you rain on it
This passion
You know that I live

Don’t tell me why I
I can’t sing my lullabies

I want to feel higher than skies
Want to feel, want to feel
Higher than stars, than the sun
I want to shine brighter than the clouds in the sky
All day and night

Come with me to the ocean
Show me what I'm missing
Show me why I wanted you
I’ll show why I want to feel

High again
Don’t let me fall again
Don’t let me fall again
Don’t let me fall again
