Higher ground

I've been reeling and rocking
Fiery visions came flashing 'for my eyes
In a crossfire turmoil
Roadblocks everywhere around

It's a knee-way journey
And the road ain't always straight
I'm heading for the uppermost- got my eyes fixed on the gate
So when you hear that golden trumpet sound
You know I've put my feet on higher ground

I've been kneeling by the wayside
Dreaming of a soft feather bed
Was a storm in the distance
Vultures circling up above my head

Coming on a knee-way journey....

I'm on a long road
Carrying a heavy load
But I keep on pushing
( Get ready-We gon' walk the streets of Gold )
On a long distance route
I'm in a shaky boat
But I keep on pushing
( Get ready-We gon' walk the streets of Gold)
On a fearful trip
For that great big ship
But I keep on pushing
( Get ready-We gon' walk the streets of Gold )
It's a tedious round
But I make a joyful sound
I keep on pushing( Get ready-We gon' walk the streets of Gold )
