No AI in the music, melody or lyrics and yup, that's me singing back when had to pay for real demos. (argg)
Wrote this during my divorce (don't we all?)
I'm Holding out and I'm holding on
I'm holding back the urge to be gone
from this place I don't belong
I'm hanging in and I'm hanging on
I'm hanging tough but it won't be long
Before I'm gonna have to move on
[Chorus]
And find some higher ground
Get up off my knees and look around
Climb that mountain don't look down
Till I find higher ground
I'm talking fast and I'm talking loose
What the hell have I got to lose
What am I supposed to do
I can catch a bus I can catch a plane
Leave no number change my name
Get right out and find my own way
[Chorus]
Where there's some higher ground
Get up off my knees and look around
Climb that mountain don't look down
Till I find higher ground
[Bridge]
They can try to hold me down
But I've got other plans
I don't know my way around
But I'm gonna land
[Chorus]
Somewhere on higher ground
Get up off my knees and look around
Climb that mountain don't look down
Till I find higher ground
[Outro]
Gonna find higher ground
Get up off my knees and look around
Climb that mountain don't look down
Till I find higher ground
Gonna find higher ground
Higher ground
Higher ground
Higher ground -

Had to listen to this a few times to grasp the song. I think this songs melody was off for the heartfelt but hopeful lyrics. My thoughts are a more heartfelt singer songwriter style would have worked better. The music almost drowned the lyrics for my listening. Just my thoughts.

This really works for me as a straightforward, easy to understand country tune. The hook is catchy, memorable, and reinforced well throughout, and the repetition never feels overdone because it matches the emotional persistence of the narrator trying to move forward.
I also like how the verses stay grounded in practical details and frustration, while the chorus opens things up emotionally with the “higher ground” imagery. It’s familiar territory thematically, but the writing and delivery make it feel genuine and relatable. -

Melodically and lyrically, I love the hook. It's a good song.
As far as Suno, I think you'd be amazed if you submitted it. Of course, you will keep your original, but the Suno produced cover will expose it's full potential.
On second listen, your recording is very revealing. I'd bet a 1st class studio would do you justice. -

Well that depends on who you are, I do a lot of free jobs, but it's family only.
And maybe a few contractors that haven't paid me yet.
