Higher Ground Songtext
von Jennifer Rush

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 fallin'
When you raise your voice, think no one hears you callin'
When you need someone and you think you′ve looked everywhere
You better think again ′cause, baby, I'll be there

I′ll be standing (I'll be standing) on higher ground
When the water′s getting deep and there's no one else around
I′ll be standing (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

Oh, oh, baby
Ooh, ooh, baby

Oh, these hands were made to help you
Just to touch you and to give
All the love (all the love) that you′ve been givin' me
And in my heart is where you live


So in those times when you can′t stop the rain from fallin'
When you raise your voice, think no one hears you callin′
When you need someone and you think you've looked everywhere
You better think again ′cause, baby, I'll be there

I'll be standing (I′ll be standing) on higher ground
When the water′s getting deep and there's no one else around
I′ll be standing (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
Mmm, 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 (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 (I′ll be standing) on higher ground
When the water's getting deep and there′s no one else around
I'll be standing (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
