Higher Ground Lyrics

Dan Fogelberg Higher Ground

Rain keeps falling - keeps falling down
Like it's never going to quit
Trouble stalks this one horse town
Like it can smell the fear inside of it
Through the night the fires rage
Mixing juices 'til they disengage
Mouths get hungry and the hands reach out
Is there something we should talk about
We've got to head for higher ground, oh no
Oh good people there's hard choices going down
  now
We've got to head for higher ground
Head for higher ground
Higher ground
Shattered trusts and broken vows
Can exact a heavy toll
And in the race of heart and mind
Sure, the loser is the soul
We've got to head for higher ground, oh no
Good people there's hard choices going down
  now
We've got to head for higher ground
Head for higher ground
Higher ground
Higher
Higher
Higher
Higher
Higher
Higher
Higher
Faithless deeds for faithless times
All men are guilty of their brothers' crimes
So few are chosen; there's even fewer called
So few can ever read the writing on the wall
We've got to head for higher ground, no people,
Oh people there's hard choices going down
  now
We've got to head for higher ground
Head for higher ground
Higher
We've got to head for higher ground
Oh, good people there's hard choices going down, now
We've got to head for higher ground
Head for higher ground
Higher ground
