I wanna go higher, higher, set it free There's gotta be more to touch than what I see There's a reason we must be For the love of God, speak it to me CHORUS Good news for the modern man (yes, it is) Made by the creator's hands (yeah, he is) Confirmed just who I am Here I stand, the forever man It's gotta be higher, higher, let it be Carry on from this life's brevity When this mortal coil is twisting With the love of mercy, carry me CHORUS Sometimes we lose our sight Open our eyes No secret here Heaven is near CHORUS And the longer I live The stronger I feel a creator put us here And the day will come, gravity will run And we'll meet you in the air Where face to face we will wonder As the mysteries come undone And at the end of all our travels We find our journey's just begun Here I stand It's who I am Here I stand Forever man
