The song is "Higher," 1999, by the American rock band, Creed. The song is the lead single from their second studio album, titled, Human Clay. This performance was not a Super Bowl halftime show. It was a live show at the Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Day game [Denver beat Dallas, 26-24] at Texas Stadium on November 22, 2001, only 2 months after 9/11. They sing a few songs, and the video is a montage of those songs during that show. Enjoy.
Here is a fuller version.
Here are the lyrics:
When dreaming I'm guided to another worldTime and time againAt sunrise I fight to stay asleep'Cause I don't wanna leave the comfort of this place'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escapeFrom the life I live when I'm awakeSo let's go thereLet's make our escapeCome on, let's go thereLet's ask can we stay?
Can you take me higher?To a place where blind men seeCan you take me higher?To a place with golden streets
Although I would like our world to changeIt helps me to appreciateThose nights and those dreamsBut, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nightsIf I could make the Earth and my dreams the sameThe only difference isTo let love replace all our hateSo let's go thereLet's make our escapeCome on, let's go thereLet's ask can we stay?
Can you take me higher?To a place where blind men seeCan you take me higher?To a place with golden streets
So let's go thereYeah, let's go thereCome on, let's go thereLet's ask can we stay?
Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first timeSet up high I'm strong enough to take these dreamsAnd make them mine
Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreamsAnd make them mine
Can you take me higher?To a place where blind men seeCan you take me higher?To a place with golden streets
Can you take me higher?To a place where blind men seeCan you take me higher?To a place with golden streets
