Vanessa Williams - Higher Ground lyrics

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 fists of diamonds

that I found were only stones

I would trade my wealth of ages

for a warmer hand to hold

Though the path of life is narrow

But it leads to streets of gold

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

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

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

Ooh, Ooh
