Oh you've been my inspiration    And I've loved you for so long    And in my times of desperation    I was weak and your love made me strong       So in those times when you can't stop    The rain from falling    When you raise your voice    And think, no one hears you calling    When you need someone    And you think you've looked everywhere    You’d better think again    `Cause baby, I'll be there       I'll be standing on higher ground    When the water's getting deep    And there's no one else around       I`ll be standing on higher ground    I'll be there for you, I will care for you    I swear to you, I won't let you down   Oh these hands were made to help you    Just to touch you and to give    All the love that you've been giving me    And in my heart is where you live   So in those times when you can't stop    The rain from falling    When you raise your voice    And think, no one hears you calling    When you need someone    And you think you've looked everywhere    You’d better think again    `Cause baby, I'll be there   I'll be standing on higher ground    When the water's getting deep    And there's no one else around       I`ll be standing on higher ground    I'll be there for you, I will care for you    I swear to you, no I won't let you down   Higher ground is the place I found    Through the love you gave to me    When I was down   Hmmm, the highest part in every heart    Is when you give to someone else    Without thinking of yourself   I'll be standing on higher ground    When the water's getting deep    And there's no one else around       I`ll be standing on higher ground    I'll be there for you, I will care for you    I swear to you, I won't let you down   I'll be standing on higher ground    When the water's getting deep    And there's no one else around       I`ll be standing on higher ground    I'll be there for you, I will care for you    Oh I swear to you, I won't let you down.
