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
remind 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
Chorus
