Higher Ground
Music and words © 1997 Dale Sechrest


Sometimes life don't go just the way that you plan it
sometimes life comes down far too hard
But don't let it get you down child 'cause it goes 'round in a circle
Things always get better you can take that much to heart

Seems that one day you're on the mountain top
the next you're in the valley
sometimes you just don't know which way to go
But you can learn from these times child just take it as it comes
look it in the face now and don't let it make you run.

Chorus
Do not close your eyes to the pain that's all around you
Do not close your eyes to the silence of the night
Let it lead you out
Let it be there to remind you
That some day you'll be sat on higher ground


Sometimes life don't go just the way that you plan it

But you can learn from these times child just take it as it comes

Chorus
Do not close your eyes to the pain that's all around you
Do not close your eyes to the silence of the night
Let it lead you out
Let it be there to remind you
That some day you'll be sat on higher ground


There's a better day a'comin'
everythings gonna turn around
and the sun's gonna be shinin' on your back
But it never lasts forever so just take it as you can
And take a little bit of that high-rise when the alley comes around again

Chorus
Do not close your eyes to the pain that's all around you
Do not close your eyes to the silence of the night
Let it lead you out
Let it be there to remind you
That some day you'll be sat on higher ground
