“Higher” blends soulful pop with African rhythmic influences to convey a spiritual and emotional triumph over life’s challenges. Life will knock you down, but Seyi Shay reminds listeners they do not have to stay there. Her powerful vocal performance urges everyone to let it out, breathe, and rise higher than the mountain top.
[Intro]
Bowu ru ni ma re ni
Bo san mi ma do ke
Bowu ru ni ma so ni
Ba le ni o, ma do ke
[Verse 1]
Let it out, let it out
Let me in, let me in
Let it all out (ma do ke)
Get it out, get it out
Breathe it in, breathe it out
Let it pour out (wa go ke)
[Pre-Chorus 1]
In all the breeze, all of the leaves
They weather the storm like you
So baby please, make we release
You should know that I'm here with you (you got to know, you got to know)
[Chorus]
We high, higher, higher than thе mountain top
We rise, oh yeah, highеr than the mountain top
We high, higher, higher than the mountain top
We rise, oh yeah, higher now
[Verse 2]
Don't give up, don't give up
Don't give in, don't give in
It's never or now
Yeah
Baby fill me up, fill me in
Say it loud, say it proud
Let's go all out
Yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause even the leaves in all the breeze
They weather the storm like you
So baby please, make we release
You should know that I'm here with you (you got to know, you got to know)
[Chorus]
We high, higher, higher than the mountain top
We rise, oh yeah, higher than the mountain top
We high, higher, higher than the mountain top
We rise, oh yeah, higher now
[Bridge]
Ma go ke lo, emi a go ke lo

[Chorus]
We high, higher, higher than the mountain top
We rise, oh yeah, higher than the mountain top
We high, higher, higher than the mountain top
We rise, oh yeah, higher now
[Outro]
We can, we can, we can, we can, we can, we can, we can, we can rise up (ma go ke lo, emi ma go ke lo)
I said we can, we can, we can, we can, we can, we can, we can, we can rise up (ma go ke lo)
Oh na na na
Oh na na na na

Oh, Lord have mercy

We can, we can, we can, we can, we can, we can, we can, we can rise up
Oh na na na na na na na na
