| 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 |
