Dm
Your smile cuts through
  F
A Smokey room
C
Chasing silence from the air
     Dm             F
Your empty eyes and hollow smile
C
Complement your vacant stare

To stand on

Something of worth to live

Your life on

Dm                F
Higher ground, on higher ground
C
Build your house where love resounds

Higher ground, on higher ground
C
See your purpose from higher ground


Interlude: F - D - F - D


Verse2:
       Dm
Your determined words
F
Dance on my heart

You're like a conscience in my ear
     Dm
Your laughing smile 
    F
And brilliant eyes
  C
Remind me why I'm here

Your life on

Bridge:
Bb                       Dm
The sight of you on your feet 
Face streaked with 
    C
The Crystal glow of tears

To show that love had saved you
    Dm
And truth amazed you

Is the vision I will take with 
me wherever I go

See your purpose from higher ground
