The waters are rising
I can feel it
Where oh where can we stand
The rich and the wicked pulling us down
Better move on to higher ground
The trees that they're cutting
Higher ground
The tops off the mountains
Higher ground
They've poisoned the waters
Higher ground
Better move them all to higher ground
Their colors of justice
Higher ground
The heartbroke and homeless
Higher ground
The beatings that won't stop
Higher ground
Better move them all to higher ground
By helping each other
It's higher ground
Teaching the children
The higher ground
Protecting the Mother
The higher ground
Together on the higher ground
Now we're standing on the higher ground
