Higher Ground

[Verse 1]
Yesterday's hero
Shines into the light of today
Sees only the shadow
Of how we used to be and how we've strayed
Tomorrow's treason
Lives inside the heart of every man
The future they promised
Has turned into something that we don't understand

To wake up in the morning full of hope is all he needs
But still his heart bleeds
To rise into a day that's so dark sends him down, down, down
His head is moving underground

[Chorus]
It's never meant to be like this
You find yourself at the precipice
You're looking at the final kiss
He's lost what he first had found

It never rains but always pours
You never find an open door
It's never like it was before
He's looking for the higher ground

(Higher ground)
(Looking for the higher ground)

[Verse 2]
Lessons of history
Shows that all those dreams would end too soon
Sees only the lonely
Weeping at the back of a crowded room

To float up in a sky full of wishes, she'll give to all
But still her heart falls
To rise up in a day that's so far sends her down, down, down
Her head is moving underground

[Chorus]
It's never meant to be like this
You find yourself at the precipice
You're looking at the final kiss
He's lost what he first had found

It never rains but always pours
You never find an open door
It's never like it was before
He's looking for the higher ground

It's never meant to be like this
You find yourself at the precipice
You're looking at the final kiss
He's lost what he first had found

It never rains but always pours
You never find an open door (what he first had found)
It's never like it was before
But now he's looking underground

(But now he's looking underground)
(Looking underground)

[?] from the ground

It's never meant to be like this
You find yourself at the precipice
You're looking at the final kiss
(It's no higher ground I tell you baby no)

It never rains but always pours
You never find an open door (higher ground)
It's never like it was before

It's never meant to be like this
You find yourself at the precipice
You're looking at the final kiss
(I'm looking for the higher ground)

It never rains but always pours
You never find an open door (I said I lost what I found)
It's never like it was before

It's never meant to be like this
You find yourself at the precipice
You're looking at the final kiss
Staring at the thing you miss

It never rains but always pours
You never find an open door (I'm looking for higher ground)
It's never like it was before

[Outro]
I'm looking for the higher ground
Lost but now I'm found
Looking for the higher ground
Lost but now I am found (higher ground)
I'm looking for the higher ground
I'm looking for the higher ground
Lost but now I'm found
Looking for the higher ground
