Higher Wisdom Songtext
von Ferron

Was it in your higher wisdom
That you turned the light from me?
Or was it just your sense of humor
That for a moment I should see?
In that darkness was I weeping
In that silence set it free

And now I′m waiting in your valley
To be standing on your mountain
That I might tumble down your hillside
To a place that waits for me

From a time I dare to mention
I was shown the broken line
In this world of good intentions
The cruelest love can seem so kind
And you may harbor quiet sorrow
But to speak it is a crime


And so I'm waiting in your valley
To be standing on your mountain
That I might tumble down your hillside
To a place that waits for me

I am soldier without country
Having laid my guns to rest
I am time without the notion
You could say I flounder with the best
I have followed after hunger
And I watched my wants infest

And now I′m waiting in your valley
To be standing on your mountain
That I might tumble down your hillside
To a place that waits for me

I have asked so many people
What the spark of life might be
But they bade me not to ask
For more than what the muted heart could be
And though they posed me many faces
All but one I could not see


And so I'm waiting in your valley
To be standing on your mountain
That I might tumble down your hillside
To a place that waits for me
