Macy Gray - "Every Night"

Every Night

Yeah, I'm feelin' good, I'm feelin' right
Woke up this mornin', another day of life
Only through the darkness, you can see the light
Made it through the darkness, we gon' be alright
Yeah, we're livin' life, though it feels further than it seems
Good God, bring me closer to my dreams
Closer to my dreams, far away from rain
Far away from hurt, I can feel a mother's pain

(Higher) We're gonna get
(Higher) All the way up
(Higher) Up to the sky
(Higher) Down in my soul
(Higher) 'Round the world, yeah
(Higher) In my head
(Higher) Higher
(Higher) Here we go

Mmm, come closer now, see
This is private
I wanna talk about the times, I wanna talk about the climate
I wanna reminisce on, yeah, where I'm comin' from
I wanna feel you baby, I wanna sing my song (You can feel it)

(Higher) We're gonna get
(Higher) All the way up
(Higher) Up to the sky
(Higher) Down in my soul
(Higher) (Ooh, baby man) 'Round the world
(Higher) In my head
(Higher) Higher
(Higher) Here we go

Here we go, I got a no-quit attitude, good gratitude
Goin' high like we hangin' on a parachute
Can't stop, can't bend, and can't break me
I have an announcement to make
You can feel it in my vibe, feel it from the look in my eyes
Sun shines many blessings in the sky
Think I'm goin' higher, radiate higher
Think I'm goin' higher, radiate higher (It's what I do all day)

Ask me what I do all day (Yeah, it's what I do all day)
I get up about eight (Yeah, and then I celebrate)
After that I celebrate (Oh, baby)
Lay-lay with my baby
Yeah, and every night, I pray

(Higher) (Hey!) We're gonna get
(Higher)
(Higher) Up to the sky, yeah
(Higher) Down in my soul
(Higher) (Hey!) 'Round the world now
(Higher) Here we go
(Higher) Here we go
(Higher) Here we go

(Higher, higher) (Hey!) Aѕk me what I do all day
(Higher, higher) I get up about eight
Gettin' high like we hangin' on a parachute
(Higher, higher) (Hey!) After that, I celebrate
(Higher, higher) Lay-lay with my baby
You gon' be alright, you'll be livin' life, you gon' be alright
And every night, I prаy
