Sam Roberts - Higher Learning lyrics

rate me

I found myself on the road to confusion A dull mind and a weak constitution I gave a ride to a medicine man He had a glass eye and white light in his hand Now I wanna run through the green green grass Shins a light on the shadow of the past I wanna feel like a Siamese twin Mass appeal with a solitude spin Oh now oh now he stopped my world turning Oh now oh now this is a higher learning He said Oh and I bet that you don't even think about it Do you now boy? When they tell us that we couldn't live without it We climbed up to the mountain snow And in the valley we was waid so low But we will rise like a phoenix from the ashes We will rise like a phoenix from the ashes Oh now oh now this is a higher learning Oh now oh now my eyes are burning Come to the light! Come to the light! Put your mind in the hands of the medicine man Time is a slippery fish now Drink deep let your memory slip down He says we're living underground We've been asleep in a memory, dreaming The spell was broken by the sound The cut is deep but the wound is healing And we will rise like a phoenix from the ashes We will rise like a phoenix from the ashes We will rise like a phoenix from the ashes We will rise like a phoenix from the ashes I will rise like a phoenix from the ashes He says he speaks to the monsoon rain Drink deep and you'll feel no pain I came to on a desolate avenue My legs were weak but my mind full of fortitude
