Everyone tells me I'm makin a mistake
good friends all warn me bout the care I should take
nobody knows you the way I do
nobody sees you through
through my eyes

Ready to question each step we take
so quick to challenge decisions we make
chains on our hearts
and our hands and feet
desperate to keep us down

(Chorus)
Climbing up to higher ground
higher ground
won't give up until we've found it
higher ground

Sometimes i just get so god damn tired
weary of warnings and reasons why
waves of an ocean that starts to rise
slowly around us now

(Chorus)
Climbing up to higher ground
higher ground
somewhere on a distant mountain
climbing up to higher ground
higher ground
far above and looking down from
higher ground

(Chorus)
Climbing up to higher ground
higher ground
i can feel love all around us
climbing up to higher ground
higher ground
far above and looking down from
higher ground
