The Briggs - Back To Higher Ground lyrics

I'm introduced to a plague of ignorance

Might be my own but I can't be too sure

Looking to rescued with no sign of deliverance

That can't exist, it can't exist

Hearts can grow so cold

In the heat of the moment

It freezes over like the devil's abode

Don't look so troubled

You're the salt of the earth now

We can't regress, we can't regress

Back to higher ground

Reaching up, we won't back down

Hope can dry up like the LA river

But droughts never last forever

A thirst for more is just human nature

We can't regress, no we can't regress

Socially conscious or self-consciously social

Show my true colors like a waving flag

Make up in strife for direction that I lack

We can't regress, we can't regress

Dancing on the grave

To the sound of savage victory

With the power we possess

We can't regress, we can't regress

Sing a song of freedom

Pay homage to the fathers

That paved the way for sonic liberty

A note that rings so true in all of us

We can't regress, we can't regress
