Higher Ground

Let it be known, I’m backing out of the race
Say what you will about me
Let it be known, someone can take my place
And you can go on without me
‘Cause I’ve been all around
And I think I’ve finally found
A way to Higher Ground

Let it be known, I’ve seen enough of your world
I’ve shared your pain and your laughter
Let it be known that I have loved you well
But this is not what I’m after
‘Cause I’ve been around
And I think I have found
A way to Higher Ground

All the secrets of the heart
All the mysteries of the mind
All the treasures of the soul
Well, they’re there for me to find
If I really want to know
If the truth is to be found
Gotta turn my eyes within
Gotta look for Higher Ground

Let it be known that I don’t care, anymore
Who wins and who loses
Let it be known, I’ve left a key in my door
Each one can take what he chooses
But I’ve been around
And I think I have found
A way to Higher Ground
