Williams, Vanessa - Higher Ground Lyrics






Walk me over this situation
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
Blindy clutching fist of diamonds
That I found were only stones

I would trade the wealth of ages

For a warmer hand to hold
Though the path of life is narrow
But it leads the 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

  1. s.... ....

    A tremendous song which Vanessa performs exquisitely. This is how it's done, kids--impeccable control invested with genuine and expansive feeling. A truly marvelous production. It is, hands down, the best song on an album that is, truth be told, somewhat of a snooze otherwise ("Sister Moon" and "Long Way Home" excepted).  And, BTW, whoever decided to clad her in an XXL gray (!) turtleneck for the washed-out cover art should be shot, posthaste, if they are not already dead. It's like throwing a potato sack on Helen of Troy and thinking it's going to do the woman justice. What on Earth were they thinking!?!
