In a world where shadows loom and the wilderness feels endless, Anna Bergendahl weaves a tale of profound transformation. Through imagery of a lone wanderer evolving into a mighty oak, the song speaks to the journey from despair to enlightenment. It’s about discovering an inner strength—a "higher power"—that rises like a spirit larger than life. This force cuts through adversity, turning wind and fire into mere stepping stones. With roots digging deep and branches reaching high, it symbolizes resilience and rebirth. Ultimately, it's an anthem for anyone who has ever felt lost but found their way to rise again, stronger and wiser.
Higher Power
Lyrics
I was alone
I was a starving eremite without a home
And the sand in the hourglass pouring on
A howling wolf without a pack
Little did I know
There was a seed
And with some water and attention, it would lead
Into a leaf turning into a tree
Roots spreading through the darkest woods
Little did I know, I didn't know
I see a higher power rise
A spirit larger than life
Cutting right through the fire
Turning the wind
Right before my eyes
I see a higher power rise
A spirit larger than life
Digging right through the dirt
Releasing the dam
And so, I arise
On my own
Kept walking through the wilderness 'til I had grown
Into a thousand-year-old oak, give me a throne
And I'll wear the crown of thorns
Little did I know, I didn't know
I see a higher power rise
A spirit larger than life
Cutting right through the fire
Turning the wind
Right before my eyes
I see a higher power rise
A spirit larger than life
Digging right through the dirt
Releasing the dam
And so, I arise
And so, I arise
Oh, I didn't know
And so, I arise
Oh, I didn't know
I see a higher power rise
A spirit larger than life
Cutting right through the fire
Turning the wind
Right before my eyes
I see a higher power rise
A spirit larger than life
Digging right through the dirt
Releasing the dam
And so, I arise
And so, I arise
