Rain keeps falling - keeps falling down

Like it's never going to quit

Trouble stalks this one horse town

Like it can smell the fear inside of it



Through the night the fires rage

Mixing juices 'til they disengage

Mouths get hungry and the hands reach out

Is there something we should talk about



We've got to head for higher ground, oh no

Oh good people there's hard choices going down

now

We've got to head for higher ground

Head for higher ground

Higher ground



Shattered trusts and broken vows

Can exact a heavy toll

And in the race of heart and mind

Sure, the loser is the soul



We've got to head for higher ground, oh no

Good people there's hard choices going down

now

We've got to head for higher ground

Head for higher ground

Higher ground



Higher

Higher

Higher

Higher

Higher

Higher

Higher



Faithless deeds for faithless times

All men are guilty of their brothers' crimes

So few are chosen; there's even fewer called

So few can ever read the writing on the wall



We've got to head for higher ground, no people,

Oh people there's hard choices going down

now



We've got to head for higher ground

Head for higher ground

Higher

We've got to head for higher ground

Oh, good people there's hard choices going down, now

We've got to head for higher ground

Head for higher ground

Higher ground
