Lyrics
by Jeff Black on B-Sides And Confessions Volume One (#77025)
There’s a star shining over Jordan Looks like we’re going to fall to fortune In ribbons rings and bows Riding on a light so clean and fine It’s going to change some things around here I know Ever since last October I been thinking the whole thing over And I’m feeling fairly sure That we’ve got someone on the inside now babe I think they’re going to show us how they Transcend all that’s pure Oh look here what we found Higher ground Full moon and the rivers flowing Pretty soon the roosters crowing Better open up the door Catch me in a dream I don’t care I want to hold the world to my share And ask for a little more I believe we can see forever And all we leave behind together May be washed away with time I really want it to mean, to matter Silver gold wood and leather And heaven on my mind Oh look here what we found Oh look here what we found Higher ground
from The Ghost Of Will Harbut (#3957) by Wishing Chair
- The waters are rising
- I can feel it
- Where oh where can we stand
- The rich and the wicked pulling us down
- Better move on to higher ground
- The trees that they're cutting
- Higher ground
- The tops off the mountains
- Higher ground
- They've poisoned the waters
- Higher ground
- Better move them all to higher ground
- Their colors of justice
- Higher ground
- The heartbroke and homeless
- Higher ground
- The beatings that won't stop
- Higher ground
- Better move them all to higher ground
- By helping each other
- It's higher ground
- Teaching the children
- The higher ground
- Protecting the Mother
- The higher ground
- Together on the higher ground
- Now we’re standing on the higher ground
