Lyrics Higher Ground - Vanessa Williams

Higher Ground

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 fist of diamonds
That I found were only stones
I would trade the wealth of ages
For a warmer hand to hold
Though the path of life is narrow
But it leads the streets of gold
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
Ooh, ooh
