There is a verse in this song that speaks of sleeping and dreaming... and then never wanting to leave that comfort. That night, i remembered that verse, and was terrified that sheena might feel like that, and never wake up to see the light of day again...
My worst fears came true, and i remember going to see her that last time, after she died. this song came on the radio, on the way there...and back. this song which gave me so much joy on earth. this song that gave me so much faith and inspiration, which made me feel that she would be with me forever...
now, a new meaning has come from this most wonderful song. it makes me look forward to meeting up with sheena someday. it gives me hope that there is in fact a heaven, and she will will be waiting there for me. she will be healthy and whole once again, waiting to get in the passenger seat like i long for her to do everyday that i am without her. just having this one thing in heaven is enough to make me want to stay there forever.
i play this song all the time. some days i just miss her so much, and regress to that last night, and i still have such vivid pictures in my mind of what i had gone through with my best friend in the world. it is funny how you can never forget that ominous feeling of fear and abandonment so easily.
thank you creed, for composing the most inspirational song that will ever exist in this world. thank you for that one special song that i will always hear when i think of sheena. it is such and honour to have such a beautiful song as a gift to the two of us. I will hold this song close to my heart, right beside that special place for Sheena, for the rest of my living days...
HIGHER, BY CREED
When
dreaming I'm guided through another world
Time
and time again
At
sunrise I fight to stay asleep
'Cause
I don't want to leave the comfort of this place
'Cause
there's a hunger, a longing to escape
From
the life I live when I'm awake
So
let's go there
Let's
make our escape
Come
on, let's go there
Let's
ask can we stay?
Can
you take me higher?
To
the place where blind men see
Can
you take me higher?
To
the place with golden streets
Although
I would like our world to change
It
helps me to appreciate
Those
nights and those dreams
But,
my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights
If
I could make the Earth and my dreams the same
The
only difference is
To
let love replace all our hate
So
let's go there
Let's
make our escape
Come
on, let's go there
Let's
ask can we stay?
Up
high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time
Up
high I'm strong enough to take these dreams
And
make them mine
