Higher Ground Lyrics by Vanessa Williams

Higher Ground Lyrics

    Walk me over this situation
    Let the sun's light warm my face
    Once again the times are changing
    Once again I've lost my way
    While the words of ancient poets
    Fall like dust upon my shoes
    Greed has grabbed 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, in 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 my wealth of ages
    for a warmer hand to hold
    Though the path of life 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, in honor bound
    Take my heart to higher ground

    In this world we move through shadows
    Never sure of what we see
    While the truth abides 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, in honor bound
    Take my heart to higher ground

    Ooh, Ooh
