Lyrics:
Don’t you bow, to kings and queens
Rise above, everything
If the devil beckons, and the angels sing
Don’t listen to, anything
The time has come, to raise your hands
C’mon everybody, take a stand
Higher, Higher, Higher, Higher…

LYRICS:
Live to my potential
End my life in debt
Meet no expectations
except what I regret
I lost
what a cost
There's no way I would have won
I know
let it go
There's no point what's done is done
