Higher Ground |
| Last night I was dreaming I laying drowning in a stream |
| But in the light of day I see it’s much more than a dream |
| Life is like a river that carries you on down |
| It’s time we make like we was making tracks for higher ground |
| I’m always taking chances and got me by on luck |
| One a few and lost a few, oh had to suck it up |
| But I see where it’s leading me, I’ve got to turn around |
| Today’s the day I thought of making tracks for higher ground |
| For higher ground, (higher ground), higher ground, (higher ground) |
| You ain’t going nowhere when you’re always falling down |
| So get off on a good foot and stop stumbling around |
| Man I’m off and running making tracks for higher ground |
| Yeah, I had a friend who said he’d love to drink and run around |
| Wasn’t anyway old mercy’d put that bottle down |
| Well I just heard the other day they laid him in the ground |
| One way or the other brother we’re bound for higher ground |
| For higher ground, (higher ground), higher ground, (higher ground) |
| You ain’t going nowhere when you’re always falling down |
| You got to pick your head up, keep your mind and body sound |
| Man I’m off and running making tracks for higher ground |
| The moral of my story is the fool he never think |
| And all around you life says you must change every day |
| Throw off those old shackles and get up and dance around |
| Today’s the day we’re roping, making tracks for higher ground |
| For higher ground, (higher ground), higher ground, (higher ground) |
| You ain’t going nowhere when you’re always falling down |
| Get off on the good foot and stop stumbling around |
| Man we’re off and running making tracks for higher ground |
| For higher ground, (higher ground), higher ground, (higher ground) |
| You ain’t going nowhere when you’re always falling down |
| Get up on the good foot and stop stumbling around |
| Man we’re off and running making tracks for higher ground |
| Up and running babe for higher ground, for higher ground baby |
| Up and running up for higher ground, don’t let me down boys |
| We’re all running up to higher ground |
