"Higher"
Heidi Montag
2007


Here I go now; I’m keeping my eyes open--don't you let me down.
Nothing can stop me now; I know you hear this sound.
Go ahead and let it out; don’t be afraid to fly, fly high, to reaches past the sky

Here we go; let it flow; spread your wings and fly.
You never known till you let it go--going up, up, up, up.

I’m only going higher, higher; I’m gonna take it higher, higher.
No time for looking back; I dream and that’s a fact.
I’m only going higher higher, higher.

I feel the energy.
I’m breaking the boundaries; there’s nothing next to me!

I look up and obviously it’s like I found the lease.
They’re searching for the me; looks like I finally found the key.
Let me open the door for you.

Here we go; let it flow.
Spread your wings and fly (fly).
You never known till you let it go--going up, up, up, up.

I’m only going higher, higher.
I’m gonna take it higher, higher.
No time for looking back, I dream and that’s a fact.
I’m only going higher, higher, higher.

Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher!

I’m only going higher, higher.
I’m gonna take it higher, higher.
No time for looking back, I dream and that’s a fact.
I’m only going higher, higher, higher.

I’m only going higher, higher.
I’m gonna take it higher, higher.
No time for looking back, I dream and that’s a fact.
I’m only going higher, higher, higher.

Feel the wind on your face; we frolic or race. We can go at your pace, pace.
The Power lifted me. So, I set me free.

Am I dreaming?

Paul Gauguin

Ralph Lauren arrived in beaten-up blue jeans, having assembled what was arguably the evening's most all-American table. It included two of his own offspring (David and Dylan), Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel, Taylor Swift, and Lauren Bush, who figured her dinner plans would involve "schmoozing about scoring some tickets to a concert" with the country-pop crossover sensation.
