Higher Ground

City lights like diamonds, but the night weighs heavy.

Whispers in the static telling me to settle,

but I feel a heartbeat steady like a promise.

A gentle thunder calling me to step out onward.

When the ground beneath me trembles, I remember there's a hand that lifts me brighter than the storm.

Breathing in the courage, breathe out every doubt.

I start to climb, I won't be hung down.

Take me up to higher ground where my feet feel light and my heart beats loud.
