Higher Ground - Vanessa Williams

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
