Higher Ground

Ingemar Olsson


It’s Saturday and it’s hard to tell
Whether it’s day or night
The band on the stage has a lot to sell
Johnny Rocker’s at the mike
Singing a song that he knows so well
And never will forget
A voice inside him
Crying louder yet

Higher ground
Try out your wings and let the up-draft take you
To higher ground
Trust in your dreams and know they won’t forsake you
Stronger than the wings of an eagle
Higher than the sky above
Right into the Land of Eden
Guided by the light of love
Higher ground
Your wings are ready, try them out and fly

From the depths of that dark café
Susie is looking out
The tears in her eyes, more than words can say
Show that she’s been knocked about
Look through the window and see her now
Her hope has nearly died
But deep inside her, a dream is still alive

Higher ground ...

Sick of the show that he’s putting on
Johnny must take a break
Playing along ‘til the break of dawn
Is more than he can take
Though people around him, they all believe
He’s such a great success
What he longs for
Is something limitless

Higher ground ...
