Higher Ground Lyrics - Fogelberg Dan

Rain keeps falling - keeps falling down 

Like it's never going to quit 

Trouble stalks this one horse town 

Like it can smell the fear inside of it 

Through the night the fires rage 

Mixing juices 'til they disengage 

Mouths get hungry and the hands reach out 

Is there something we should talk about 

We've got to head for higher ground, oh no 

Oh good people there's hard choices going down 

now 

We've got to head for higher ground 

Head for higher ground 

Higher ground 

Shattered trusts and broken vows 

Can exact a heavy toll 

And in the race of heart and mind 

Sure, the loser is the soul 

We've got to head for higher ground, oh no 

Good people there's hard choices going down 

now 

We've got to head for higher ground 

Head for higher ground 

Higher ground 

Higher 

Higher 

Higher 

Higher 

Higher 

Higher 

Higher 

Faithless deeds for faithless times 

All men are guilty of their brothers' crimes 

So few are chosen; there's even fewer called 

So few can ever read the writing on the wall 

We've got to head for higher ground, no people, 

Oh people there's hard choices going down 

now 

We've got to head for higher ground 

Head for higher ground 

Higher 

We've got to head for higher ground 

Oh, good people there's hard choices going down, now 

We've got to head for higher ground 

Head for higher ground 

Higher ground
