(原詩)

Higher,

I'm a king,
Yes, I'm a head of state
But I'm the kitchen boy
Who'll wash your dirty plate
I had no message and the message was
We're all Jesus, Buddha
And the Wizard of Oz

I'm merely a man
And I bring nothing but love for you
I'm merely a man
And I want nothing that you can't do

And you know it's true that with logic
And love we'll be lifting
Humanity higher, higher

I'm all religious figures
Rolled into one
Gaddafy Duck propelled
From Jimmy Swaggart's tommy gun
Don't promise rainbows
With some golden pot
In fact what I can offer,
I know you've already got

I'm merely a man
And I bring nothing but love for you
I'm merely a man
And I want nothing that you can't do

And you know it's true that with logic
And love we'll have power enough
To raise consciousness up
And for lifting humanity higher, higher

And you know it's true,
We should chase superstition
And fear from our hearts
If we're going to survive
And take levels of sanity higher,
Kick it up, higher

I'm merely a man
And I bring nothing but love for you
I'm merely a man
And I want nothing that you can't do
I'm merely a man
And I bring nothing but love for you
I'm merely a man
And I want nothing that you can't do

And you know it's true that with logic
And love we'll have power enough
To raise consciousness up
And for lifting humanity higher
