lyrics

From On Higher Ground
Dave Gunning/ Jim Dorie

I waited in the moonlight I'd take 'em one by one
Alone in the silence 'til each bullet left the gun
Knowing when I fired they might not even hear the sound
Cause I was looking down from on higher ground

There's a point where we break a line that can't be crossed
Things that we'll stand for no matter the cost
You think it's me you're hunting but I've turned this around
I can see you clearly now from on higher ground

So I'll be the last man standing when this has gone down
There's an old abandoned mine nearby you never will be found
So come on get me fellas to Hell you'll be bound
I'm am drinking with the angels from on higher ground

My family had no part you chose to make it so
I warned you when it started I wouldn't let it go
You could have gotten out alive to some other restless town
Looks like your time's running out from on higher ground


So forgive me my father for what I have done
There will be no more silence for the man I've become
Forever circling in a moment where my heart always pounds
And no way to make it right now from on higher ground
Forever running with my life now from on higher ground
