Text: John Waite. Rough & Tumble. Further The Sky.

When you don't know where you're going and you don't know why
It feels like another day's beaten into the night
Lay your head on my chest
Well, my beating heart pounds out the reason for this life

The higher you reach, the further the sky
The more miles you walk, the longer the road
The steeper you climb, the harder you stand to fall
The stronger you get, the heavier the load, yeah, heavier the load

I wish I could give you the answers on paper and ink
I wish I could stop all the tears before they start falling
But we're feeling our way and we're always beginners
We're all cuts and no scars here

The higher you reach, the further the sky
The more miles you walk, the longer the road
The steeper you climb, the harder you stand to fall
The stronger you get, the heavier the load, yeah, heavier the load

The higher, the higher, the higher you reach
The further, the further, the further the sky
The higher, the higher, the higher you reach
The further, the further, the further the sky, yeah
The further the sky, yeah

The bigger the dream, the rougher the ride
The truer the love, the deeper the ache
The blinder the faith, the tougher the go

The higher you reach, the further the sky
And the more miles you walk, the longer the road
The steeper the climb, the harder you stand to fall
The stronger you get, the heavier the load, yeah, heavier the load

Alright, the steeper the climb
The higher you reach, the further the sky
