The Invisible World just when I said I’m listening to positive music for 2019 and I see this comment. Congratulations confirmation God is still blessing us everyday
Y'all don't understand back in 05 i was in college straight black kid from the hood only black person in my classes. I played this song everytime i took a test! I could remember sitting in the library wondering if i would ever graduate! Fast forward 2020 after all the ups and downs of my career, I'm now in a place where I'm comfortable. I truly cried listening to this song again
I have a vivid memory of driving my first-born baby boy home from the hospital while this song played on the car stereo, a beautiful sunny day in November 2001, my life changed forever. Tonight, my son participated in Skyline High School's Zoom graduation and Goapele (Skyline alum) showed up and played this song. I was instantly transported to that moment from 18 years ago and it felt like a circle was closing.. Brought tears to my eyes. A beautiful moment. Thank you so much Goapele for showing up!
Its a shame she isn’t more widely known, but it’s a blessings she is known by the right people, allowing her to make this beautiful music over and over again
This song has helped me through my absolute worst times! Being 24 at the time with 6 children seemed as if I set myself for failure. Fast forward to 16 years later not only am I a business owner but all 6 of my children own their own companies as well and have been presented world wide! The 3 Amigos Lawncare (3 little boys) and my daughters are the owner of Little Women at Work! This was my daily dose of encouragement, I thank you for it❤️❤️❤️❤️
O just was strolling thru Facebook and seen this Yong lady styling her hair,I heard the background song and de used to Google and put it onmy page uplifting song💯❤💃
When you leave these comments, you never know who is going to see them and who they are going to touch. I came across yours and wanted to say, it is so awesome that you kept going. Your strength set an example for your children. Congrats to you and to them. May you continue to be blessed and to be a blessing to others by sharing your incredible journey. You just don't know who needs to see your example to know that they can't give up either. Much luv, sis.
THIS IS MY UPLIFTING SONG WHEN I WAS ON DRUGS, KIDS WAS IN HRS, 2002, NOW I'M OFF DRUGS HAVE MY OWN PLACE, TAKEING CARE OF MY KID'S. AND PUTTING GOD FIRST IN ALL I DO, YOU GET THE GLORY FATHER 👩🍼
Everyday when I need some motivation, I listen to this song. What a spiritual song. If you reading this please don’t give up, I know it’s hard but just keep going your breakthrough is coming soon.
She's my age, am so happy for that, a real real be sister helping these young be women to see the light, , some of no this young girl s are disrespectful towards the women that came before them, so they feel the need to teach a older women, that already but know!
It was today...I realized, this is a manifestation song....I'll be using this from now on. I see and understand the symbolism. And oozing deep roots of femininity...at the time I'm in. It spoke to my heart. THANK YOU Goapele~ Truly, Sincerely, Thank You~
Omg yes. I just listen to this song today and realized this. All this time she was talking about visualization and vibrating high. This song touches the soul.
Same! She been left this for me, it came out when I was in 8th grade from Oakland! Now I listen and it’s so comforting on my journey! I truly innerstand and gratefull for her gift!
This song is in memory of my son who passed away in 2016 when he listened to it I didn't pay attention now I hear you loud and clear in Jesus name amen Italy I truly always love you in Jesus name amen c a r l o u s AKA Carlito A ka Carl ie Charlie AKA Los we must learn to live in peace to rest in in Jesus name amen
This really is a manifestation song.. in this world we all come to fulfill our life’s purpose. Many of us go through fear and anxiety and it’s the main reason why we don’t get closer to our dreams. Through meditation positive affirmations and being connected to the universe what we give out will be what we receive. Through the law of attraction what we think and what we speak is what will manifest into reality. That is part of the universal rules. This is a beautiful song by a beautiful woman I loved where I saw Buddha in the beginning . Stay safe everyone and remember manifest your reality by being positive ! Namaste 🙏🏻
@@gerradwalker346 Yes actually now I have a much better life than I did before & even a car now ❤️❤️ Its truly all about having faith. My mind is renewed. I eat better. I feel like I've been reborn

Boy o'boy..........I heard this song early 2003-4. I fell in love with it. 2015-17, I heard originally she a South African from Jo'burg. I was tearing with joy. I can't stop listening to her song. As for this one......... eventually I'll get closer to my dreams. Much love sis.
To anyone who's struggling with ANYTHING....This song is timeless and resonates so deep. It's like the spirit of the universe is speaking directly to my soul 🖤 love light and healing to all. TRUST AND BELIEVE YOU HAVE A PURPOSE. STOP CARRYING ALL THAT PAIN THAT ISNT YOURS TO CARRY. Heal and shine bright like the beautiful magical star that you are 🥰😘
The first time I heard this song was while watching the movie Honey with Jessica Alba and Mekhi Phipher and I instantly went to search for it and have been listening ever since. This song takes me to such a relaxed tranquil and peaceful place. I could listen to it forever and ever. Thankyou Goapele 💞💞
I’m 31 years old & I cry every single time I hear this song, only because I’m a hard worker and everything I do I give it 110%. This song always gave me and still gives me hope that I will get there. Thank you for this song ❤️
This is such an amazing and beautiful song. I discovered this song last year before I found my soulmate. I shared it with her a year ago and today August 2024 at 11:11, she accidentally pressed play on her phone, and this song came on again. If you are here, this is one of those songs that will inspire you to achieve your goals or give you the strength to keep pushing forward. Thank you Goapele for blessing us with your positive vibrations 🙏
Single mom of 5, this song was the beat to my hope. Didn't know when or how, but I was determined to come off ALL welfare medicaid section 8, I did it!!!..... Man it's a journey and here I am years later trying to make the next leap....2023 here I come 😆😆😅
"For though a righteous man/woman falls seven times, he/she rises again, but the wicked are brought down by calamity" (Proverbs 24:16). Rise & learn from your falls!
This song was with me during every interview, every promotion, and now that I am in senior management. I get to help others get closer to their dreams. Never give up you got this!
Just landed my dream job today as a college history professor and decided to play this. Today was such a good day full of happy tears. All the hard work has paid off. Just hang on, we’re getting closer to our dreams. ✨
Closer to my dreams It's coming over me I'm getting higher Closer to my dreams I'm getting higher, and higher Feel it in my sleep Sometimes it feels like I'll never go pass here Sometimes it feel like I'm stock forever, ever But I'm going higher Closer to my dreams I'm Going higher and higher I can almost reach Sometimes you just have to let it go Leaving all my fears to burn and die Push the all away so I can move on Closer to my dreams Feel it all over my being In my being Close your eyes and seek what you believe I'm moving higher I'm going higher and higher Closer to my dreams Higher and higher I'm moving upward and onward and beyond all that I could see Stretching out my arms so I can reach I'm so close It's like I can just reach I can feel my dreams Closer to my dreams I'm moving closer to my dreams Sometimes it feel like you'll never grow and change But you never choose to walk away
I was awoken to this song playing on my phone earlier this morning which was the first time listening to it. Reminded me that the Lord is restoring all of my wasted years which I lost love, finances and potential. Also, I'm closer to my dreams.🎶
I graduated from a program called Youthbuild, I was invited to a 3 day event in San Diego, CA where I met other graduates from all over CA. They made us a DVD with this song playing over it. One of the best experiences of my life.
I was going through a spiritual awakening when I came across this song. I felt the lyrics deeply in my being. It got me through a difficult time in my life. I left a 25 year marriage/relationship during this time. The ending always hit me deep. “But you never choose to walk away” and that I did. It truly was the only way I would grow and change. For that and 4 years later. I am thankful.
I’m 67 years young and I grew up hearing this type of music. I’m still enjoying what people are calling “old school” because there’s nothing comparable!!!
I'm going higher closer to my dream I love the way the Divine God ministers to my spirit sitting here thinking about my husband and I'm believing God that he will be home before this month is over.. Thank you my creator for bringing this song too my thoughts. Blessings to you❤Goapele
September 15th 2020 ...I’ve been listening to this song for years now and I’m fighting so hard to hold on..... self care is something I never took seriously, a lot of mistakes along the way, I will be 33 on September 23rd and I am trying so hard to make changes and put myself first, who knew that could be so incredibly difficult. I pray to come back and look at this comment one day and be living my best healthiest life
Other than God's love, self love is like medicine for your soul. Once you truly love yourself and you decide to share that love with the world, nothing and I mean nothing can stop you but you! So keep fighting your worth fighting for!
Everytime I accomplish a goal or elevate in life this is my go to song . Anyone out there feeling stuck keep going ! No one will understand your dream but you ❤
This is the song that started My Spiritual Journey and 10 years later it’s been played everyday during Meditation🧘🏽♂️. Every time I play it, it feels like the 1st time hearing it!☺️
I met Goapele when I used to work for a furniture boutique in L.A. She is the sweetest and most genuine soul. Just like the Art she creates. Love her forever. 🙏🏼❤️
In 2021 this song right here still motivates me! Sending to my daughter in the hopes of her seeing the goodness that life can bring her! Stay the course everyone and live a life of peace! ❤️
Goapele is so beautiful, talented and underrated. Her music really speaks to you and has a strong message. Her vocals are so unique and beautiful too. I hope she release a new album soon.
An Extraordinary woman with an extraordinary voice. She seems like she's from another dimension where people speak only in love and kindness. Thank you Goapele for this beautiful song.
I got rejected from my dream school, USC. I listen to this song to remind me that God has a plan for me, and he is placing me at the university where I will succeed. Senior year has been so rough emotionally, but I know that each and every day I am getting closer to my dream of going to film school in Los Angeles.
This is the first time I've busted into tears while listening ❤️❤️😭 I heard the lyrics for the first time today ya'll after years, of repeating the chorus to myself so i never forgot the song. Ya'll she said Sometimes it feels like ill never go past Green sometimes it feels like im. Stuck forever, but I'm Goin higher closer to my dreams. Sometimes you just have to let it go, leaving all your fears to burn down, push them all away so i can move on, closer to my dreams. I JUST FUCKIN FELT THAT. The Fear, The Anxiety, , 😭😭 Im in the first Row, pastor Goapele, PREACH 🙌🙌ASE HALLELUJAH
I have been waiting on God to answer a specific prayer and have waited years for God’s promise to come to pass and EVERYTIME I hear this song it makes me want to keep going
As a person who’s biggest goal is to give Jehovah my best,, this song hits hard and I just had to come to it and I can’t wait for this song to beat through me at my best
Love having the memory of my mom playing this song in the living room with the breeze coming through the open backdoor. Good times. Wish I could go back to when I was younger
My uncle used to play this song every time and practice his guitar from it and I'd sing the lyrics, terribly so!! We've drifted apart through the years, but every time I play this song (which is every day) I feel like he can just call me up and ask me to sing it to him again. He's a brother I lost and thank you for making us connect in the first pace Goapele ❤

Indeed
😢I get a different mournful serene acceptance of death or a drug addict chasing a high....
I have a vivid memory of driving my first-born baby boy home from the hospital while this song played on the car stereo, a beautiful sunny day in November 2001, my life changed forever. Tonight, my son participated in Skyline High School's Zoom graduation and Goapele (Skyline alum) showed up and played this song. I was instantly transported to that moment from 18 years ago and it felt like a circle was closing.. Brought tears to my eyes. A beautiful moment. Thank you so much Goapele for showing up!

Just landed my dream job today as a college history professor and decided to play this. Today was such a good day full of happy tears. All the hard work has paid off. Just hang on, we’re getting closer to our dreams. ✨
Nov 2024 had this song in my mind!!! Getting closer to my dreams ❤
Closer to my dreams
It's coming over me
I'm getting higher
Closer to my dreams
I'm getting higher, and higher
Feel it in my sleep
Sometimes it feels like I'll never go pass here
Sometimes it feel like I'm stock forever, ever
But I'm going higher
Closer to my dreams
I'm Going higher and higher
I can almost reach
Sometimes you just have to let it go
Leaving all my fears to burn and die
Push the all away so I can move on
Closer to my dreams
Feel it all over my being
In my being
Close your eyes and seek what you believe
I'm moving higher
I'm going higher and higher
Closer to my dreams
Higher and higher
I'm moving upward and onward and beyond all that I could see
Stretching out my arms so I can reach
I'm so close
It's like I can just reach
I can feel my dreams
Closer to my dreams
I'm moving closer to my dreams
Sometimes it feel like you'll never grow and change
But you never choose to walk away
Thank you!!
Thank you forever!
Wow! Totally speechless! The greatest song I've ever heard in my life
I think this song will never go out of style. This will never go away
Thank you
I was awoken to this song playing on my phone earlier this morning which was the first time listening to it. Reminded me that the Lord is restoring all of my wasted years which I lost love, finances and potential.
Also, I'm closer to my dreams.🎶
Returning to this song for those very same uplifting reasons.
-Higher & HIGHER
The beat, the singing, the lyrics are all 10/10. Might be one of the best songs of all time.
You are right! Because my God, “CLOSE your eyes and SEE what you believe…” is so powerful! A timeless message ❤❤❤
Wus crazy is that I fell in love with this track 12years ago when my sons mother put me on it and people are just now listening to it…been a HIT
Still vibing and holding on to the promises of God 10 years later!! Thank you for this beautiful song Queen!!
I graduated from a program called Youthbuild, I was invited to a 3 day event in San Diego, CA where I met other graduates from all over CA. They made us a DVD with this song playing over it. One of the best experiences of my life.
Amazing beat along with the melody.
Whoever composed this song is talented as hell.
@@shaquillejackson5131 Drake was acting in Degrassi when this came out lol
Everyone who’s in this comment section will be where you want and need to be ASAP Believe it Achieve it and Receive it The world is yours 💪🏾🖤🙏🏾
The way god talked to me in my dream and brought this song to me when I woke up .
Spiritual 🎉
I was going through a spiritual awakening when I came across this song. I felt the lyrics deeply in my being. It got me through a difficult time in my life. I left a 25 year marriage/relationship during this time. The ending always hit me deep. “But you never choose to walk away” and that I did. It truly was the only way I would grow and change. For that and 4 years later. I am thankful.
I’m 67 years young and I grew up hearing this type of music. I’m still enjoying what people are calling “old school” because there’s nothing comparable!!!
I'm going higher closer to my dream I love the way the Divine God ministers to my spirit sitting here thinking about my husband and I'm believing God that he will be home before this month is over.. Thank you my creator for bringing this song too my thoughts.
Blessings to you❤Goapele
September 15th 2020 ...I’ve been listening to this song for years now and I’m fighting so hard to hold on..... self care is something I never took seriously, a lot of mistakes along the way, I will be 33 on September 23rd and I am trying so hard to make changes and put myself first, who knew that could be so incredibly difficult. I pray to come back and look at this comment one day and be living my best healthiest life
We share the same birthdays 🎂, you are 1 of a kind. God made NO mistakes. READ JOSHUA 1.
GOD BLESS YOU. OUR BIRTHDAYS NEXT MONTH
God bless you and your Life!
Other than God's love, self love is like medicine for your soul. Once you truly love yourself and you decide to share that love with the world, nothing and I mean nothing can stop you but you! So keep fighting your worth fighting for!
🙏🏽 stay strong
We hope you're still here with us on this journey...

I met Goapele when I used to work for a furniture boutique in L.A. She is the sweetest and most genuine soul. Just like the Art she creates. Love her forever. 🙏🏼❤️
In 2021 this song right here still motivates me!
Sending to my daughter in the hopes of her seeing the goodness that life can bring her!
Stay the course everyone and live a life of peace! ❤️
I congratulate you Mom! I pray sweet blessings and you and your daughter's Life! May God Bless always. The Bible says pray for one another. Done.

Goapele is so beautiful, talented and underrated. Her music really speaks to you and has a strong message. Her vocals are so unique and beautiful too. I hope she release a new album soon.
This song is apart of my being! It pushed me through some low times. Now I am where I was dreaming about when this song was released ❤❤❤❤
An Extraordinary woman with an extraordinary voice. She seems like she's from another dimension where people speak only in love and kindness. Thank you Goapele for this beautiful song.

I will forever be connected to this song. It's my everyday prayer. Thank you Goapele for such a masterpiece. ❤
I got rejected from my dream school, USC. I listen to this song to remind me that God has a plan for me, and he is placing me at the university where I will succeed. Senior year has been so rough emotionally, but I know that each and every day I am getting closer to my dream of going to film school in Los Angeles.
This is the first time I've busted into tears while listening ❤️❤️😭
I heard the lyrics for the first time today ya'll after years, of repeating the chorus to myself so i never forgot the song.
Ya'll she said
Sometimes it feels like ill never go past Green sometimes it feels like im. Stuck forever, but I'm Goin higher closer to my dreams. Sometimes you just have to let it go, leaving all your fears to burn down, push them all away so i can move on, closer to my dreams.

I have been waiting on God to answer a specific prayer and have waited years for God’s promise to come to pass and EVERYTIME I hear this song it makes me want to keep going
i have been listening to this song every day atleast twice a day since 2003! i Breathe this song! THE FULL ORIGINAL VERSION!
AP Hubbard yes 👐
Backside....😯
As a person who’s biggest goal is to give Jehovah my best,, this song hits hard and I just had to come to it and I can’t wait for this song to beat through me at my best
Love having the memory of my mom playing this song in the living room with the breeze coming through the open backdoor. Good times. Wish I could go back to when I was younger
My uncle used to play this song every time and practice his guitar from it and I'd sing the lyrics, terribly so!! We've drifted apart through the years, but every time I play this song (which is every day) I feel like he can just call me up and ask me to sing it to him again. He's a brother I lost and thank you for making us connect in the first pace Goapele ❤
