SONG:Higher Ground

This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the higher ground album, and has also been released on the john denver collection - rocky mountain high album.
There are those who can live
with the things they don¡¯t believe in
they are giving up their lives
for something that is less than it can be
Some have longed for a home
in a place of inspiration
some will find the emptiness inside
by giving it all for the things that they believe
they believe
Maybe it¡¯s just a dream in me
maybe it¡¯s just my style
maybe it¡¯s juat the freedom that i¡¯ve found
given the possibility
of living up to the dream in me
you know i¡¯ll be reaching for higher ground
I will stand on my own
i will live up to the vision
i will trust in what i feel
i¡¯d follow my heart until it brings me home
brings me home
Maybe it¡¯s just a dream in me
maybe it¡¯s just my style
maybe it¡¯s juat the freedom that i¡¯ve found
given the possibility
of living up to the dream in me
you know i¡¯ll be reaching for higher ground
Keep me through the night
lead me to the light
teach me the magic of wonder
give me the spirit to fly
Maybe it¡¯s just a dream in me
maybe it¡¯s just my style
maybe it¡¯s juat the freedom that i¡¯ve found
given the possibility
of living up to the dream in me
you know i¡¯ll be reaching for higher ground
Maybe it¡¯s just a dream in me
maybe it¡¯s just my style
maybe it¡¯s juat the freedom that i¡¯ve found
given the possibility
of living up to the dream in me
you know i¡¯ll be reaching for higher ground
