[Verse 1]
I spent too many years just surviving,
Trying to make it through another day.
Carrying dreams inside my pocket,
But fear kept getting in the way.
I kept waiting for a miracle,
Waiting for the stars to align.
Then God whispered through the silence,
"Child, it's your season to climb."
The mountain didn't disappear.
The road didn't get easier.
But something changed inside me.
I stopped looking down.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every battle built my strength.
Every setback taught me faith.
Every storm was preparation
For the woman I'm becoming today.
[Chorus]
I've been called higher.
Higher than my fear.
Higher than my failures.
Higher than these tears.
Higher than the labels
People tried to put on me.
God didn't call me to stay where I was.
He called me higher.
[Verse 2]
The vision got bigger.
The responsibility grew.
I started realizing
Some prayers require a new you.
A stronger heart.
A stronger mind.
A stronger faith when you're running blind.
Because the blessing isn't the destination.
The blessing is who you become on the climb.
I don't need everybody to understand.
I don't need permission to believe.
If God put the dream inside me,
Then I'm gonna chase it relentlessly.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every closed door had a reason.
Every delay had a plan.
The person I needed to become
Couldn't be built on easy land.
[Chorus]
I've been called higher.
Higher than my fear.
Higher than my failures.
Higher than these tears.
Higher than the limits
That I used to place on me.
God didn't call me to stay where I was.
He called me higher.
[Bridge]
Higher in my thinking.
Higher in my purpose.
Higher in my standards.
Higher in my service.
Higher in my faith.
Higher in my vision.
Higher in the way I love.
Higher in the way I listen.
The same God who gave the dream
Will give me strength to carry it.
[Final Chorus]
I've been called higher.
Not for my glory.
Not for applause.
Not for attention.
I've been called higher
To build.
To serve.
To lead.
To love.
And every step I take
Brings me closer to the woman
God already sees.
I've been called higher.
And I'm finally ready
To answer.
