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…

The Chenille Sisters recorded and I believe wrote this song.
Recorded live while I was learning it.

LYRICS:
Live to my potential
End my life in debt
Meet no expectations
except what I regret
I lost

There's no way I would have won
I know
let it go
There's no point what's done is done

One of my other hobbies is watching wildlife in the area. I'm the happiest with a pair of binoculars around my neck and my hiking boots laced up.
