Higher Ground

Lyrics

Bitter in the belly, sweet on the tongue
 pick up the pieces gonna tell someone
 wind blows gentle and the wind blows warm
 carry me on to the eye of the storm
 water is rising it's an awful sound
 carry my feet to the higher ground
 I don't know but I been told
 It takes a whole lotta diggin for an ounce of gold
 Ounce of gold don't buy no bread
 Everybody sleeping in a strangers bed
 Water is rising it's an awful sound
 Carry my feet to the higher ground
 foot on the sea, foot on the land
 loud as a lion with a book in your hand
 I ain't singing in the lukewarm choir
 Standing on the world with your legs on fire
 time no more it's an awful sound
 carry my feet to the higher ground
