00:00When I'm down, when I'm low, when my wings fell and broke, when the stars feel too far
00:25You lift me up, you just take me higher in love, you just take me higher in love
00:41Every time I feel the power of your touch, you just take me higher in love
00:51You just take me higher, you just take me higher
01:01When I'm far in the dark, I just look for your spark
01:11You light me up like the 4th of July, like a firework in the sky
01:21You just take me higher in love, you just take me higher in love
01:31Every time I feel the power of your touch, you just take me higher in love
01:39You just take me higher, you just take me higher
01:49Higher, higher than the rain, higher than the clouds
01:54So high that seeing heaven means that I'm looking down
01:59Higher than the rain, higher than the sun
02:04So high that when I'm falling, I am still going up
02:09You just take me higher in love
02:14You just take me higher in love
02:18Every time I feel the power of your touch, you just take me higher in love
02:28You just take me higher, you just take me higher
02:34You just take me higher, you just take me higher
02:38Higher, you just take me higher

05:56Thank you so much
05:59So when I first
06:04pursued this career of country music I knew it was going to be hard but I didn't know it was
06:12going to be this hard and as I was pursuing it I lost myself and who I was and so I asked my
06:20husband one day I said why do you think country music isn't working for me and he said because
06:25you're running away from everything that makes you different and it gutted me because I ran away
06:31from everything that I know that I am and so in that moment I stopped everything that I was doing
06:37and I went back to what I studied in black history and I read this book called black like me and it
06:44just hit me and as I wrote the song then I decided I wanted to find all of these other black country
06:50artists that are out there because they're out here we are here and if we just get the opportunity
06:54there's so much possibility so I discovered this girl named Brittany Spencer who is also having a
07:00lucrative career in country music and I realized we have to invest in black art and she's going to
07:06join me today singing my song black like me here's Brittany Spencer everybody
