Higher Ground

When life hits you like a hurricane
Blind sides you with pain
High winds and rain
And you see no end in sight

Though darkness may fall
And there's no hope at all
I know you'll stand tall
Like a beacon in the night

I pray you always be strong
You always be brave
Take heart and hold on for dear life
Wave after wave, after all those tears fall down, down, down
Come hell or high water
Only love will find you higher ground

When the streets are flooded with hate
Stand firm at your gate
Keep your faith and forgive, and be just like a child

There's no color or race, just a beautiful face
Make the world a better place
Change their life with your smile

I pray you always be strong
You always be brave
Take heart and hold on for dear life
Wave after wave, after all those tears fall down, down, down
Come hell or high water
Only love will find you higher ground

I pray you always be strong
You always be brave
Take heart and hold on for dear life
Wave after wave, after all those tears fall down, down, down
Come hell or high water
Only love will find you higher ground
