Higher Ground Songtext

von 38th Parallel

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
Build your house where love resounds
Higher ground, on higher ground
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

There's something more
To stand on
Something of worth to live
Your life on

Higher ground, on higher ground
Build your house where love resounds
Higher ground, on higher ground
See your purpose from higher ground

Higher ground, on higher ground
Build your house where love resounds
Higher ground, on higher ground
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

Higher ground, on higher ground
See your purpose from higher ground
Higher ground, on higher ground
Build your house where love resounds

Higher ground, on higher ground
See your purpose from higher ground
