Higher Ground Lyrics

Walk me over
this horizon
let the sun's light
warm my face
once again the times are changin
once again i lost my way
well the words of ancient poets
fall like dust upon my shoes
grief has robbed 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
and 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 the world of ages
for a warmer hand to hold
the path of light 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
and honor bound
take my heart to
higher ground

in this world
we move through shadows
never sure
of what we see
while the truth that lies 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
and honor bound
take my heart to
higher
higher ground

hmmmmm hmm hmmmm hmmmm

I Finally Found Someone

Walk me over 
this horizon 
let the sun's light 
warm my face 
once again the times are changin 
once again i lost my way 
well the words of ancient poets 
fall like dust upon my shoes 
grief has robbed 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 
and 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 the world of ages 
for a warmer hand to hold 
the path of light 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 
and honor bound 
take my heart to 
higher ground

in this world 
we move through shadows 
never sure 
of what we see 
while the truth that lies 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 
and honor bound 
take my heart to 
higher 
higher ground

hmmmmm hmm hmmmm hmmmm

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
