Rain keeps falling, keeps falling down   Like it's never going to quit   Trouble stalks this one horse town   Like it can smell the fear inside of it      Through the night the fires rage   Mixing juices 'til they disengage   Mouths get hungry and the hands reach out   Is there something we should talk about      We've got to head for higher ground   Good people there's hard choices going down now   We've got to head for higher ground   Head for higher ground, higher ground      Shattered trusts and broken vows   Can exact a heavy toll   And in the race of heart and mind   Sure, the loser is the soul      We've got to head for higher ground   Good people there's hard choices going down now   We've got to head for higher ground   Head for higher ground, higher ground      Higher, higher, higher, higher   Higher, higher, higher      Faithless deeds for faithless times   All men are guilty of their brothers' crimes   So few are chosen, there's even fewer called   So few can ever read the writing on the wall      We've got to head for higher ground   Oh people there's hard choices going down now   We've got to head for higher ground   Head for higher ground, higher      We've got to head for higher ground   Good people there's hard choices going down now   We've got to head for higher ground   Head for higher ground, higher ground
