Jennifer Rush
"Higher Ground"

You�ve been my inspiration
And I�ve loved you or so long
And in my times of desperation
I was weak and your love made me strong

So in those times when you can�t stop
The rain from falling
When you raise your voice
And think, no one hears you calling
When you need someone
And you think you�ve looked everywhere
You better think again
`Cause I�ll be there

I�ll be standing on higher ground
When the water�s getting deep
And there�s no one else around

I`ll be standing on higher ground
I�ll be there for you I will care for you
I swear to you I won�t let you down

Higher ground is the place I found
Through the love you gave me
When I was down

(And) the highest part in every heart
Is when you give to someone else
Without thinking of yourself

I�ll be standing on higher ground
When the water�s getting deep
And there�s no one else around

I`ll be standing on higher ground
I�ll be there for you I will care for you
I swear to you I won�t let you down

And in my times of desperation
When I was weak your love made me strong
So in those times when you can�t stop
The rain from falling
When you raise your voice
And think, no one hears you calling
When you need someone
And you think you�ve looked everywhere
You better think again
`Cause I�ll be there

I�ll be standing on higher ground
When the water�s getting deep
And there�s no one else around

I`ll be standing on higher ground
I�ll be there for you I will care for you
I swear to you I won�t let you down

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 whre you live
