Walk me over
|
this horizon
|
let the sun's light
|
warm my face
|
once again the times are changin
|
once again i lost my way
|
well the words of ancient poets
|
fall like dust upon my shoes
|
grief has robbed me of my vision
|
turned my heart from higher truths
|
so take my hand
|
and lift me higher
|
be my love and my desire
|
hold me safe
|
and honor bound
|
take my heart to
|
higher ground
|
I have walked
|
too long in darkness
|
I have walked
|
too long alone
|
blindly clutching
|
fists of diamonds
|
that i found were only stones
|
i would trade the world of ages
|
for a warmer hand to hold
|
the path of light is narrow
|
but it leads to streets of gold
|
so take my hand
|
and lift me higher
|
be my love and my desire
|
hold me safe
|
and honor bound
|
take my heart to
|
higher ground
|
|
in this world
|
we move through shadows
|
never sure
|
of what we see
|
while the truth that lies between us
|
come and share the truth with me
|
so take my hand
|
and lift me higher
|
be my love and my desire
|
hold me safe
|
and honor bound
|
take my heart to
|
higher
|
higher ground
|
|
hmmmmm hmm hmmmm hmmmm
