Lyrics
Higher Ground
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Your smile cuts through a smoky room
Chasing silence from the air
Your empty eyes and hollow smile
Complement your vacant stare
There's something more to stand on
Something of worth to live your life on
Higher ground, on higher ground
You'll build your house where love resounds
Higher ground, on higher ground
You'll see your purpose from higher ground
Your determined words dance on my heart
You're like a conscience in my ear
Your laughing smile and brilliant eyes remind me why
I'm here
For something more to stand on
Something of worth to live my life on
Higher ground, on higher ground
You'll build your house where love resounds
Higher ground, on higher ground
You'll see your purpose from higher ground
Higher ground, on higher ground
You'll build your house where love resounds
Higher ground, on higher ground
You'll see your purpose from higher ground
The sight of you on your feet face streaked
With the crystal glow of tears
To show that love had saved you and truth amazed
You is the vision I will take with me wherever
I go
Go
Higher ground, on higher ground
You'll see your purpose from higher ground
Higher ground, on higher ground
You'll build your house where love resounds
Higher ground, on higher ground
You'll see your purpose from higher ground
