Higher Ground

Walk me over

this horizon

let the sun's light

warm my face

once again the times are changin

once again i lost my way

well the words of ancient poets

fall like dust upon my shoes

grief has robbed me of my vision

turned my heart from higher truths

so take my hand

and lift me higher

be my love and my desire

hold me safe

and honor bound

take my heart to

higher ground

I have walked

too long in darkness

I have walked

too long alone

blindly clutching

fists of diamonds

that i found were only stones

i would trade the world of ages

for a warmer hand to hold

the path of light is narrow

but it leads to streets of gold

so take my hand

and lift me higher

be my love and my desire

hold me safe

and honor bound

take my heart to

higher ground

in this world

we move through shadows

never sure

of what we see

while the truth that lies between us

come and share the truth with me

so take my hand

and lift me higher

be my love and my desire

hold me safe

and honor bound

take my heart to

higher

higher ground

hmmmmm hmm hmmmm hmmmm
