Back to Higher Ground

I'm introduced to a plague of ignorance
 Might be my own but I can't be too sure
 Looking to be rescued
 with no sign of deliverance
 That can't exist, it can't exist
 Hearts can grow so cold
 in the heat of the moment
 It freezes over like the devil's abode
 Don't look so troubled
 You're the salt of the Earth now
 We can't regress, we can't regress
 Back to higher ground
 Reaching up, we won't back down
 Back to higher ground
 Reaching up, we won't back down
 Back to higher ground
 Hope can dry up like the LA river
 But droughts never last forever
 A thirst for more is just human nature
 We can't regress, no we can't regress
 Socially conscious of self-consciously social
 Show my true colors like a waving flag
 Make up in strife for direction that I lack
 We can't regress, we can't regress
 Back to higher ground
 Reaching up, we won't back down
 Back to higher ground
 Reaching up, we won't back down
 Back to higher ground
 Dancing on their grave
 To the sound of savage victory
 With the power we possess
 We can't regress, we can't regress
 Sing a song of freedom,
 Pay homeage to the fathers
 That paved the way for sonic liberty
 A note that rings so true in all of us
 We can't regress, We can't regress
 Back to higher ground
 Reaching up, we won't back down
 Back to higher ground
 Reaching up, we won't back down
 Back to higher ground
 Reaching up, we won't back down
 Back to higher ground
 Reaching up, we won't back down
