Higher Ground Paroles

I feel the night closing in
I feel the tide rising again
And serenity slippin' away from me, oh no
The sea of life, it batters the shore
The water's higher than ever before
Gotta find me a way to get out of here
Gotta find me a way to get past the fear

Lift me up to higher ground
Lift me up, I'm sinking down And I know
the water's cold
And I might drown
Lord, lift me up to higher ground

I've done my best, I still can't win
And there's no rest from the state I'm in
Insecurity's getting the best of me, oh no
I see the light on a distant shore
But I'm to tired to row any more
Won't You give me the strength to get through the wind And I know the water's cold
And I might drown
Lord, lift me up to higher ground

(Repeat Refrain)
