Higher Ground

Ooh, ooh, babeOoh, you've been my inspiration
And I've loved you for so long
In my times of desperation
I was weak and your love made me strongSo in those times when you can't stop
The rain from falling
When you raise your voice
Think no one hears you calling
When you need someone
And you think you've looked everywhere
You better think again
'Cause baby, I'll be thereI'll be standing (I'll be standing)
On higher ground
When the water's getting deep
And there's no one else aroundI`ll be standing (I'll be standing)
On higher ground
I'll be there for you
I will care for you
Oh, I swear to you
I won't let you downNo way, ooh, ooh, babeOh, these hands were made to help you
Just to touch you and to give
All the love that you've been giving me
And in my heart is where you liveSo in those times when you can't stop
The rain from falling
When you raise your voice
Think no one hears you calling
When you need someone
And you think you've looked everywhere
You better think again
`Cause baby, I'll be thereI'll be standing (I'll be standing)
On higher ground
When the water's getting deep
And there's no one else aroundI`ll be standing (I'll be standing)
On higher ground
I'll be there for you
I will care for you
I swear to you
No, I won't let you downHigher ground
Is the place I found
Through the love you gave to me
When I was down
Mmm, the highest part
In every heart
Is when you give to someone else
Without thinking of yourselfI'll be standing
On higher ground
When the water's getting deep
And there's no one else aroundI`ll be standing (I'll be standing)
On higher ground
I'll be there for you
I will care for you
Oh, I swear to you
I won't let you down
