Higher Love

Lyrics

[ENSEMBLE] Jump, jump, jumpity, jump Jump, jump, jumpity, jump Jump, jump, jumpity, jump Jump, jump, jumpity, jump [ROY] When the King passed on in '77 I was only eight years old But I knew like a flash, like a bolt of lightning That his story must be told So I traded my dog for an old guitar And I taught myself how to sing And from that day to this I have lived my life In the service of the King [ENSEMBLE] Jump, jump, jumpity, jump Jump, jump, jumpity, jump [ROY] I curled my lip, I learned to shake my hip I bought a Nudie suit all in white But I felt in my gut, in my bones, in my heart That something just wasn't right So I got on my knees I said "Elvis, please" You gotta tell me what to do And a light shone down and heavenly voice said "Roy I'm talking to you" He said Love is never easy, Roy Love is never clear Love requires faith, my boy Conquer all your fears Go beyond your vision, Roy Look into the sky Take a chance And take that leap And fly, fly, fly Until you feel that [ROY + ENSEMBLE] Higher love [ROY] I'm talking about a higher love You can get all the riches You've been dreamin' of But you won't know what you're missing If you don't know how to listen for the [ROY + ENSEMBLE] Higher love [ROY] A hunk, a hunk of higher love I said I've got the word from the King above That a man ain't a man if he can't feel the higher love [ENSEMBLE] Jump, jump, jumpity, jump Jump, jump, jumpity, jump Jump, jump, jumpity, jump Jump, jump, jumpity, jump [SOLOIST] I'm looking for a higher love [ROY] I'm talking about a higher love [SOLOIST] Sometimes a guy needs a gentle shove But you don't get something If you can't start jumpin' for a [ROY + ENSEMBLE] Higher love [ROY] A hunk of, hunk of higher love, yeah [SOLOIST] You can knock boots with Catherine Deneuve [ROY + SOLOIST] But you won't be a man If you can't feel the higher love [ENSEMBLE] Lift me up, lift me up higher Lift me up, lift me up higher Lift me up, lift me up higher Lift me up, lift me up higher Lift me up, lift me up higher Lift me up, lift me up higher Lift me up, lift me up higher [ROY] Love is not convenient, Jack Kiss your fears goodbye Get up off your butt my friend And fly, fly, fly You gotta feel that [ROY + ENSEMBLE] Higher love I'm talking about a higher love I tell you it's a Higher love A hunk of, hunk of higher love Let's give a little Higher love I like a lick of higher love [ROY + ENSEMBLE] See you try and you try just as hard as you can But you wonder why the shit keeps hittin' the fan Because a man, ain't a man, ain't a man Ain't a man, ain't a man Without the higher love [ENSEMBLE] Jump, jump, jumpity, jump Jump, jump, jumpity, jump Jump, jump, jumpity, jump [ROY] Huh!
