38Th Parallel Higher Ground

Your smile cuts through a smoky room,

chasing silence from the air

Your empty eyes and hollow smile

complement your vacant stare

There?s something more to stand on,

something of worth to live your life on



Chorus

Higher ground,

on higher ground

You?ll build your house where love resounds

Higher ground,

on higher ground

You?ll see your purpose from higher ground



Your determined words dance on my heart,

you?re like a conscience in my ear

Your laughing smile and brilliant eyes

remind me why

I?m here For something more to stand on,

something of worth to live my life on



Chorus



The sight of you on your feet

Face streaked with the crystal glow of tears

To show that love had saved you

and truth amazed you is the vision

I will take with me wherever I go



Chorus
