Higher Power

I was alone, I was a starving eremite without a home
And the sand in the hourglass pouring on
A howling wolf without a pack, little did I know

There was a seed
And with some water and attention it would lead
Into a leaf turning into a tree
Roots spreading through the darkest woods, little did I know
I didn't know

I see a higher power rise
A spirit larger than life
Cuttin' right through the fire
Turning the wind, right before my eyes

I see a higher power rise
A spirit larger than life
Digging right through the dirt
Releasing the dam, and so I arise

On my own
Kept walking through the wilderness 'til I had grown
Into a thousand-year-old oak, give me a throne
And I'll wear the crown of thorns, little did I know
I didn't know

I see a higher power rise
A spirit larger than life
Cuttin' right through the fire
Turning the wind, right before my eyes

I see a higher power rise
A spirit larger than life
Digging right through the dirt
Releasing the dam, and so I arise

And so, I arise
Oh, I didn't know
And so I arise
Oh, I didn't know, oh, oh

I see a higher power rise
A spirit larger than life
Cuttin' right through the fire
Turning the wind, right before my eyes

I see a higher power rise
A spirit larger than life
Digging right through the dirt
Releasing the dam, and so I arise

And so I arise
