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 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 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 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 Good people there's hard choices going down now We've got to head for higher ground Head for higher ground, higher ground
