Dan Fogelberg - Higher Ground lyrics

rate me

Rain keeps fallingkeeps falling down

Like it's never going to quit

Trouble stalks this one horse town

Like it can smell the fear inside of it

Through the night the fires rage

Mixing juices 'til they disengage

Mouths get hungry and the hands reach out

Is there something we should talk about

We've got to head for higher ground

Good people there's hard choices going down now

We've got to head for higher ground

Head for higher groundhigher ground

Shattered trusts and broken vows

Can exact a heavy toll

And in the race of heart and mind

Surethe loser is the soul

We've got to head for higher ground

Good people there's hard choices going down now

We've got to head for higher ground

Head for higher groundhigher ground

Higherhigherhigherhigher

Higherhigherhigher

Faithless deeds for faithless times

All men are guilty of their brothers' crimes

So few are chosenthere's even fewer called

So few can ever read the writing on the wall

We've got to head for higher ground

Oh people there's hard choices going down now

We've got to head for higher ground

Head for higher groundhigher

We've got to head for higher ground

Good people there's hard choices going down now

We've got to head for higher ground

Head for higher groundhigher ground
