Dan Fogelberg - Higher Ground Lyrics

This is the most early 90s sounding song ever. The keyboards, bass, and those electronic drums make me instantly think of 1993

Wondrous! Love it's enthusiasm. First, experiential knowledge is the source of all knowledge, as feelings are the root of all thought; and the source of all emotional strength. To struggle against corruption, Gandhi is best: "the root of all oppression lies in (supposed) science"; "nothing is better than abhaya,
fearlessness in the struggle against the 7 corruptions; it is also most important for an individual and a country" (to paraphrase); "be the change you wish to see in the world"; just to jot a few. I would add a few of my own: if it ain't fixed, don't break it; more is less; if you don't stand for something, you've already fallen for everything. A few twigs of the poetree also elucidate: Injustices/

Addressing, not addressing them

Have costs, former is individual,

The latter is global, as well.



Responsibility/

If you don't exercise it,

It's Siamese twin sister, freedom,

Will wither, like an unexercised muscle, as well.

Sadly, because of self-possession,

we need to exorcise it before it's exercised.



Sacrifices?/

It's not the self-sacrificed

When we do what needs to be done,

Rather the false-ego sacrificed

At Thee's altar within.



ends or means?/

Neither do I embrace.

Rather, the struggle well run

Which uplifts us uncrowned,

Every moment humans race.



Manners/

In which doings and not doings

Are done or aren't,

Brings life and light to them,

Or it doesn't.



YOU CAN/

Talk the talk, walk the walk, and even

Be the be, but, if you don't vote the vote,

You won't ever be livin' in a democracy.



Eden?/

Splitting of atom,

Cloning of Adam, hubris;

Leads to extinction. Thanx All for all you do; copy, share as you will :) reality

I really love this song

Me too. Love the whole album especially Serengeti Moon and River of souls. Such an underrated album
