Higher Ground Lyrics - The Sing Off

Baby, you and me were meant for higher ground 

We've got to steal away, uh 

I feel the wind blow, on the corner 

and I'm looking down along this dead end street 

All the people, are getting older 

but they don't give a damn, their lifes are incompleate 

I don't look no better than it did before 

And I know what's happening behind each door 

If I don't get out today, I'm gonna waste my life away 

That's a part that I can't play 

I don't wanna spend my whole life in this town 

I can feel it driving me away 

Baby, you and me were meant for higher ground 

We've got to steal away 

uh 

As a young boy, I didn't fit in, and i knew it then 

I wouldn't be the same 

That was only in the beginning, and as the time rolled on deeper grew the pain 

So give me one good reason, why I should stay! 

I think I've got enough money for the late night train 

There's a world you've never seen 

But I've been there in my dreams 

It's calling out to me 

I don't wanna spend my whole life in this town 

I can feel it driving me away 

'cause baby, you and me were meant for higher ground 

We've got to steal away 

If I don't get out today, I'm gonna waste my life away 

And that's a part that I can't play 

I don't wanna spend my whole life in this town 

I can feel it driving me away 

Baby, you and me were meant for higher ground 

We've got to steal away 

I don't wanna spend my whole life in this town 

I can feel it driving me away 

Baby, you and me were meant for higher ground 

I don't wanna spend my whole life in this town 

I can feel it driving me away 

Baby, you and me were meant for higher ground 

We've got to steal away 

(I don't wanna spend my whole life in this town) 

Oh, got to steal away 

(baby, you and me were meant for higher ground) 

Got to steal away
