Higher Ground - 38th Parallel

Your smile cuts through a smoky room, chasing silence from the air Your empty eyes and hollow smile complement your vacant stare There's something more to stand on, something of worth to live your life on Chorus Higher ground, on higher ground You'll build your house where love resounds Higher ground, on higher ground You'll see your purpose from higher ground Your determined words dance on my heart, you're like a conscience in my ear Your laughing smile and brilliant eyes rem ind me why I'm here For something more to stand on, something of worth to live my life on Chorus The sight of you on your feet Face streaked with the crystal glow of tears To show that love had saved you and truth amazed you is the vision I will take with me wherever I go
