intro I sit alone in the dark
I can remember your grace
I swear I can hear your heart beat

verse 1 I didn't know that was the last time
I'd see your face
the day the sky was torn
and the sun was ripped away

pre-chorus Did we still have our love and our freedom
was there anything ever of any importance before

verse 2 So you gave your life
to make us finally come together
why did this have to be the way, to...

chorus Higher Ground, Higher Ground
somehow we went from zero, to
Higher Ground, Higher Ground
somehow we went from zero

Bridge Anything less seems so helpless and small
and an eye for an eye is the cry
that leads to down fall

Chorus Higher Ground, Higher Ground
somehow we went from zero

Tag Your ashes were carried around the world
to ignite the flame - in a human chain
for as long as the light remains
I will never make less of your life
or blame in your name

was there anything every important before
the day the sky was torn and the sun ripped away
the last time I saw your face
now nothing will ever be the same, from
Higher Ground

outro I swear I can hear your heart beat
