Vanessa Williams - Higher Ground lyrics

[Verse 1:] Walk me over this situation Let the sun's light warm my face Once again the times are changing Once again I've lost my way While the words of ancient poets Fall like dust upon my shoes Greed has grabbed me of my vision Turned my heart from higher truths [Chorus:] So take my hand and lift me higher Be my love and my desire Hold me safe In honor bound Take my heart to higher ground [Verse 2:] I have walked too long in darkness I have walked too long alone Blindly clutching fist of diamonds That I found were only stones I would trade the wealth of ages For a warmer hand to hold Though the path of life is narrow But it leads the streets of gold [Repeat Chorus:] [Bridge:] In this world We move through shadows Never sure of what we see While the truth abides between us Come and share the truth with me [Repeat Chorus:] Ooh, ooh
