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

CHORUS
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

CHORUS

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
