Higher Ground 4/4 Key A

Higher ground is a "pandemic song". I use piano, bodhran, bass, guitar, violin and mandolin in this song. The lyrics relate to the trials of the pandemic years.

Higher Ground

​

V1) Hear the sound way off in the night

The darkness rolls into the light

Flames rise over the sea, now I've come home I'm free

​

Ch1) Just like the sun goin' down

We shine our light on higher ground

Long gone, we'll never be found

We shine our light on high

​

V2) The streets were bare and covered in glass

Before too long two years have passed

When the ghosts finally come home then I don't feel so alone

​

Ch2)

​

Bridge) Home, I'm home again on the higher ground

Home, I'm home again on the higher ground

Never alone again on the higher ground

Home, I'm home again, way up on high

​

V3) Just like the sun goin' down

We shine our light on higher ground

Long gone we'll never be found

We shine our light on high, repeat last line x2
