Ovadia - Higher [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse I]
I've been around the block a few times, now it's time for a sequel
I've witnessed a bit of good, and a whole lot of evil
I've seen the best and the worst in people
I've refused to enter a church
I've been seen on my knees beneath a steeple
I've been up and I've been down
But I've never been out until right now
So it's right now that I lie down
My mind drowned out, by the power of this light now!
My life's found
And I know that the questions haunting me are trite now
My soul's contrite, how?
Why? Where? When?
My mind can't comprehend
Life? When I'm surrounded by death?
I'm not blessed
I never have been
So why does it feel like the hand of God lifting me out of the depths?
I guess I've never gone this low before
I've never had to climb nine flights of stairs just to get back to the main floor
I guess I've never really slammed the door
Now I gave up, and fell, and found that I was soaring higher!

[Chorus]
Sunshine piercing the sky:
The dawn is rising. The light
Drives off the shadow and night
(Higher!)
The sun burns brighter than bright
My life shudders and cries;
Darkness trying to hide
(Higher!)
But there’s no point in fighting in!
I know you’re right and it’s
Done before it started
(Higher!)
Sunshine piercing the sky:
The dawn is rising higher, and higher, and higher, and higher!

[Verse II]
I see the sunrise, I hear the birds sing
I’m flying high, and I just feel like I might be a king
Or maybe a prince
I dunno, I’ve never felt like this!
Like even though life isn’t bliss
It isn’t amiss, or a mistake
And even reminiscing on the distasteful
Decisions I’ve made doesn’t make my heart break
As I intake this grace my soul comes awake
Alive, renewed inside
I can’t explain it away, no matter how I try!
If anything was ever real, then this is!
I’ll believe it ‘til I die
See I’ve tried it all, this is as high as man can fly
And these wings ain’t even mine!
Higher and higher I climb
Trying to find the decline
But now I’m inclined to tell you that divine design
Decided that there’s wouldn’t be a ceiling on this ride
Look at the coastline; look at the sea shine
Can you believe that this is where we get to recline?
Ridiculous! Without even tryin’!

[Bridge]
I’ve never felt so serene
I’m not caught in between anymore
You might find it hard to believe
But I’m flying above the downpour
Soaring on celestial wings!
And I’m never coming down again, ‘cause I’m flying higher!

[Chorus]
