Higher Ground

We're coming alive here tonight
 old memories shine a certain light
 all that glitters might still be gold
 the darkness it hides a certain glow
 if you're afraid then I don't want to know
 get your guns and load them as we go
 Conclusions falling, for whatever might find us down the line
 we might be beggars but we can still choose
 whatever might find us down the line
 those words or useless things that only shine
 It's a pitch dark night, but we come in peace
 just don't hold on to strong to your guarantees
 can you hear those words unspoken
 in all those places that we never went
 It's like the eeriness of a war
 far away but still close enough to scar
 Conclusions falling, for whatever might find us down the line
 we might be beggars but we can still choose
 whatever might find us down the road
 Did you see them follow you here tonight
 them doubts, them speculations of this life
 the poet in the gutter cries out his broken word
 it held more truth than I've ever heard
 if you're afraid then I don't want to know
 if the curtain falls then let it be so
 Conclusions falling, for whatever might find us down the line
 we might be beggars but we can still choose
 conclusions fading, for whatever might find us down the road
 with compelling eyes from the one that you adore
 we can glitter in the gutter man, no the frost wont bite
 so we aint got no gold, our pockets are filled with dynamite
 there's always more to the picture than meets the eye
