Higher Ground

You´ve been my inspiration

And I´ve loved you or so long

And in my times of desperation

I was weak and your love made me strong

So in those times when you can´t stop

The rain from falling

When you raise your voice

And think, no one hears you calling

When you need someone

And you think you´ve looked everywhere

You better think again

`Cause I´ll be there

I´ll be standing on higher ground

When the water´s getting deep

And there´s no one else around

I`ll be standing on higher ground

I´ll be there for you I will care for you

I swear to you I won´t let you down

Higher ground is the place I found

Through the love you gave me

When I was down

(And) the highest part in every heart

Is when you give to someone else

Without thinking of yourself

I´ll be standing on higher ground

When the water´s getting deep

And there´s no one else around

I`ll be standing on higher ground

I´ll be there for you I will care for you

I swear to you I won´t let you down

And in my times of desperation

When I was weak your love made me strong

So in those times when you can´t stop

The rain from falling

When you raise your voice

And think, no one hears you calling

When you need someone

And you think you´ve looked everywhere

You better think again

`Cause I´ll be there

I´ll be standing on higher ground

When the water´s getting deep

And there´s no one else around

I`ll be standing on higher ground

I´ll be there for you I will care for you

I swear to you I won´t let you down

These hands were made to help you

Just to touch you and to give

All the love that you´ve been giving me

And in my heart is whre you live
