Higher Ground Lyrics - Singles - 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
