Higher Ground

You were life you were love You were water You were bread Feel my breath getting harder And I know if you're gone any longer That I could bleed my heart out You were gold and I took you for granted Held the world in the palm of my hand But I was blind couldn't see what I had then Now I bleed my heart out If you could stay just a little while longer You might believe I've been trying to make a change 'Cause everything I touch turns to ashes And everything I love gets away from me Everything I've lost casts a shadow I'm trying not to hold on I'm ready for that higher higher ground Higher higher ground Higher higher ground I'm never coming down never coming down We were young we were lost We were frozen Broken hearts that were aching to open Now I see there was no way of knowing That we were bleeding out But if you could stay just a little while longer You might believe I've been trying to make a change 'Cause everything I touch turns to ashes And everything I love gets away from me Everything I've lost casts a shadow I'm trying not to hold on I'm ready for that higher higher ground Higher higher ground Higher higher ground I'm never coming down never coming down I'm never coming down never coming down I'm never coming down never coming down 'Cause everything I touch turns to ashes And everything I love walks away from me Everything I've lost casts a shadow I'm trying 'Cause everything I touch turns to ashes And everything I love walks away from me Everything I've lost casts a shadow I'm trying not to hold on I'm ready for that higher higher ground Higher higher ground Higher higher ground Never coming down Higher higher ground Higher higher ground Higher higher ground I'm never coming down I'm never coming down
