Iris Dement - Higher Ground [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
No voice has inspired me more than my mother's
She showed me that music is a pathway to higher ground

[Verse 1]
I'm pressing on the upward way
New heights I'm gaining every day
Still praying as I'm onward bound
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground

[Chorus]
Lord, lift me up and let me stand
By faith on Heaven's table land
A higher plain than I have found
Lord, plant me feet on higher ground

[Verse 2]
My heart has no desire to stay
Where doubts arise and fears dismay
Though some may dwell where these abound
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I want to scale the utmost heights
And catch a gleam of glory bright
But still, I'll pray until Heaven I've found
Lord, lead me on to higher ground

[Chorus][x2]
