"Higher Ground" lyrics

Well I'm trying to find my way
I'm just a simple man
Trying to keep a little faith, baby
In a world I don't really understand

And after all is said and done
And another hard earned day is through
And I need a little shelter, baby
I'll be coming on home to you

Higher ground
Higher ground
There's trouble coming down, I'm moving up
To higher ground
Higher ground
There's trouble coming down
I'm getting out, I'm moving up
To higher ground

Sometimes I lose my way
And that road's a little rough
And every step along the way, baby
Is just too much of not enough

But a poor man's riches, baby
Is what keeps me calm
And I don't want for nothin' baby
When I'm wrapped up in your arms

Higher ground
Higher ground
There's trouble coming down, I'm moving up
To higher ground
Higher ground
There's trouble coming down
I'm getting out, I'm moving up
To higher ground

The best things I ever had
A few precious moments that ring true
If I could wrap 'em up in a big brown bag, baby
I'd give 'em all straight to you

I fell that early morning sun
Shine through my window across my face
Another day has just begun
And I'm moving into place

I look back across that room
I see you lying there so still
I leave you with the best part of me, baby
And a promise I'll fulfill

Higher ground
Higher ground
There's trouble coming down, I'm heading up
To higher ground
Higher ground
There's trouble coming down
I'm getting out, I'm moving up
To higher ground

Take me higher, baby
Higher and higher and higher
To higher ground
Love keep lifting me higher
Higher ground
Higher, higher ground
I'm moving up
To higher ground
That higher ground
There's trouble coming down
I'm getting out, I'm moving up
To higher ground
