Raise Them Higher - Jason Webley

He finds them lying by the side of the road

Along the train tracks by the water

He thinks about the seed he has sown

He feels something tugging at him

Pulls him close and lets him go, he pulls it close, he lets it go

He pulls you close and he lets you go

His body’s growing heavy underneath this mortal load

Raise them higher, raise them higher

These old bones just want to fly tonight

Raise them higher, raise them higher

She’s got wings back behind her eyes

Some days the colors catch them

Lift her off of the earth

In the morning, before the mirror

She wonders how much eggs are worth

She feels something, something breaking

That pulls her close and lets her go, she pulls it close, she lets it go

She pulls you close and she lets you go

Her lips are saying no while her body is giving birth

Raise them higher, raise them higher

These old bones just want to fly tonight

Raise them higher, raise them higher

These old bones are going to fly tonight

Raise them higher, raise them higher

Raise them higher, raise them higher

Raise them higher, raise them higher

Raise them higher, raise them higher

Raise them higher, raise them higher

Raise them higher, raise them higher, higher, higher, higher
