Higher Ground

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
