Jennifer Rush - Higher Ground lyrics

Oh you've been my inspiration And I've loved you for so long And in my times of desperation I was weak and your love made me strong So in those times when you can't stop The rain from falling When you raise your voice And think, no one hears you calling When you need someone And you think you've looked everywhere You?d better think again 'Cause baby, I'll be there I'll be standing on higher ground When the water's getting deep And there's no one else around I'll be standing on higher ground I'll be there for you, I will care for you I swear to you, I won't let you down Oh these hands were made to help you Just to touch you and to give All the love that you've been giving me And in my heart is where you live So in those times when you can't stop The rain from falling When you raise your voice And think, no one hears you calling When you need someone And you think you've looked everywhere You?d better think again 'Cause baby, I'll be there I'll be standing on higher ground When the water's getting deep And there's no one else around I'll be standing on higher ground I'll be there for you, I will care for you I swear to you, no I won't let you down Higher ground is the place I found Through the love you gave to me When I was down Hmmm, the highest part in every heart Is when you give to someone else Without thinking of yourself I'll be standing on higher ground When the water's getting deep And there's no one else around I'll be standing on higher ground I'll be there for you, I will care for you I swear to you, I won't let you down I'll be standing on higher ground When the water's getting deep And there's no one else around I'll be standing on higher ground I'll be there for you, I will care for you Oh I swear to you, I won't let you down.
