Rain keeps falling - keeps a-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 (Oh 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-oh Oh-oh)
|
Good people there's hard choices going down now
|
We've got to head for higher ground
|
Head for higher ground...higher ground
|
