Briggs Back To Higher Ground
I'm introduced to a plague of ignorance
Might be my own but I can't be too sure
Looking to be 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
Back to higher ground
Reaching up, we won't back down
Back to higher ground
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 of 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
Back to higher ground
Reaching up, we won't back down
Back to higher ground
Reaching up, we won't back down
Back to higher ground
Dancing on their 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 homeage 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
Back to higher ground
Reaching up, we won't back down
Back to higher ground
Reaching up, we won't back down
Back to higher ground
Reaching up, we won't back down
Back to higher ground
Reaching up, we won't back down
