Am
So high that the aeroplanes are envious
                    G               F
Yes, you know it's dangerous, this high
So high that the highs and lows are always highs and never lows
You know no lies

So high that the atmosphere is different here
It's pretty clear to see love's here
Oh, love, no fear, oh, love, oh, love

Chorus:
         Am                 G
Take me higher, take me higher
         F
Take me high, high, higher
Take me higher, take me higher
Take me high, high, higher

So high that the astronauts look up to us
Yeah, heaven touches us this high
So high we're above the sun
The pain is gone, the pain is gone, yeah, no, no cry
So high that the galaxies are at our feet
It's pretty clear to see love's here
Oh, love, no fear, oh, love, oh, love

Chorus

Man are nuts, man are potty
They don't know Bugattis, they just cop a shotty (Yeah)
They don't have your back, they crying, propper soppy (Soppy)
Weighing up the stacks, she got the pot of coffee (Yeah)
Just finished off the track, he wants the proper copy (Yeah)
I ain't even gassed and man are proper cocky (Yeah)
I'm just in that zone, you keep on knockin', knockin' (Knockin')
When I'm in that zone, I need that proper lockin'
Got them words flowin' that's that proper wash it (Wash it)
Got me on my poetry with extra toppings (Yeah)
When I rip that flow-etry, gets them moshin'
When I say that line onstage it gets them goffin' (Mhm)
Yeah, fuck a gamble (Yeah)
Got the ganja (Yeah) and the candles
Fuck a bando ('Do), got the damsel (Yeah)
On my beach flex in my sandals

I went to the centre, children wearing
This is my first kingdom, fear is not allowed
(Yeah, fear is not allowed)
She said, "Take your jewelry out, my child, it weighs you down"
(It's weighing you, weighing you down)
Who you think you're saving stuck here on the ground?
(Nobody, nobody)
Watch how you gon' fly if you do trust me
My love, it can be your empty gravity
(I can be your empty gravity)
Find your freedom in my perfect harmony
Watch how you gon' fly when you believe in me

Chorus

On love, no fear, on love, on love
On love, no fear, on love, on love
On love, no fear, on love, on love
On love, no fear, on love, on love
