On Higher Ground

from This Burning Sun by Peter Galperin

/

lyrics

(verse 1)
I used to think that time was all we had.
But now I know that time is running out.
Everyday there’s less of it around,
It’s moving fast, at twice the speed of sound.
But in the morning when I look outside,
It’s always nice to see another sunny day. (and that’s okay)

(chorus)
‘cause all we need... is the air we breath,
and all we need... is to find some peace...
and all we need... is to plant our feet... on higher ground.

(verse 2)
It doesn’t matter if I don’t have much today,
I got enough to give a little bit away.
Even if I once was better off than now,
I know that less is more, but please don’t ask me how.
And in the morning when I look outside,
It’s always nice to see another sunny day.

(bridge)
Protect the ones who’ve lost the most,
and bless the ones who’ve come so far.
Lord give us mercy, give us hope,
and help us through our darkest hour.
