Higher Ground

Everyone tells me I'm makin a mistake

good friends all warn me bout the care I should take

nobody knows you the way I do

nobody sees you through

through my eyes

Ready to question each step we take

so quick to challenge decisions we make

chains on our hearts

and our hands and feet

desperate to keep us down

Climbing up to higher ground

higher ground

won't give up until we've found it

higher ground

Sometimes I just get so god damn tired

weary of warnings and reasons why

waves of an ocean that starts to rise

slowly around us now

Climbing up to higher ground

higher ground

somewhere on a distant mountain

climbing up to higher ground

higher ground

far above and looking down from

higher ground

Climbing up to higher ground

higher ground

I can feel love all around us

climbing up to higher ground

higher ground

far above and looking down from

higher ground
