Last night I was dreaming I laying drowning in a stream But in the light of day I see it's much more than a dream Life is like a river that carries you on down It's time we make like we was making tracks for higher ground I'm always taking chances and got me by on luck One a few and lost a few, oh had to suck it up But I see where it's leading me, I've got to turn around Today's the day I thought of making tracks for higher ground For higher ground, (higher ground), higher ground, (higher ground) You ain't going nowhere when you're always falling down So get off on a good foot and stop stumbling around Man I'm off and running making tracks for higher ground Yeah, I had a friend who said he'd love to drink and run around Wasn't anyway old mercy'd put that bottle down Well I just heard the other day they laid him in the ground One way or the other brother we're bound for higher ground For higher ground, (higher ground), higher ground, (higher ground) You ain't going nowhere when you're always falling down You got to pick your head up, keep your mind and body sound Man I'm off and running making tracks for higher ground The moral of my story is the fool he never think And all around you life says you must change every day Throw off those old shackles and get up and dance around Today's the day we're roping, making tracks for higher ground For higher ground, (higher ground), higher ground, (higher ground) You ain't going nowhere when you're always falling down Get off on the good foot and stop stumbling around Man we're off and running making tracks for higher ground For higher ground, (higher ground), higher ground, (higher ground) You ain't going nowhere when you're always falling down Get up on the good foot and stop stumbling around Man we're off and running making tracks for higher ground Up and running babe for higher ground, for higher ground baby Up and running up for higher ground, don't let me down boys We're all running up to higher ground
