Higher Ground
Composer(s): Steve Dorff
Performer(s): Barbra Streisand



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 
greed 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
