Higher Ground Lyrics

Walk me over this situation 
Let the sun's light warm my face 
Once again the times are changing 
Once again I've lost my way 
While the words of ancient poets 
Fall like dust upon my shoes 
Greed has grabbed me of my vision 
Turned my heart from higher truths 
So take my hand and lift me higher 
Be my love and my desire 
Hold me safe, in honor bound 
Take my heart to higher ground 

I have walked too long in darkness 
I have walked too long alone 
Blindly clutching fists of diamonds 
that I found were only stones 
I would trade my wealth of ages 
for a warmer hand to hold 
Though the path of life is narrow 
But it leads to streets of gold 

So take my hand and lift me higher 
Be my love and my desire 
Hold me safe, in honor bound 
Take my heart to higher ground 

In this world we move through shadows 
Never sure of what we see 
While the truth abides between us 
Come and share the truth with me 

So take my hand and lift me higher 
Be my love and my desire 
Hold me safe, in honor bound 
Take my heart to higher ground 

Ooh, Ooh
