Higher Ground

from Strange Brew by Keith Thompson Band

/

about

This is one of those "searching for answers" kind of songs. It is realizing that through history there have been outspoken leaders or prophets trying to point to a higher way. By that I don't just mean the obvious examples, like Ghandi or Jesus but all those who have pieces of the jigsaw and hold them up like sign posts! John Lennon, Mother Teresa, Bob Dylan and many many more. And before religious freaks start writing to me, I am in no way putting Bob or John above Jesus OK? It is just that the signs are still ringing out through art, songs and messages pointing to a higher pathway....but are we listening?

lyrics

Higher Ground – Keith Thompson

We’ve been searching through the pages of repeated history
And we’ve been wandering through desert storms
And the circle seems unbroken to me
We’ve been lied to and we have tried to explain away all our wrongs
We have cried and we’ve justified all our actions
And the systems we prolong

And all those heroes that came for a moment
To show us a better way
Although their seed has fallen to the ground
They still lead us to higher ground

I’ve been seeking for the answers
To the emptiness within my own heart
‘cos I believe in the way of love but
Someone show me how to start
‘cos I’ve been taking instead of giving away what I have inside
And blowing in the wind is the voice of compassion
From all the prophets that died.

And all those heroes that came for a moment
To show us a better way
Although their seed has fallen to the ground
They still lead us to higher ground
