Last night I was dreamin' I was drownin' in a stream
In the light of day I see it's much more than a dream
Life is like a river, carries you on down
It's time a man like me was makin' tracks for higher ground
That's right
I'm bored with takin' chances, ain't a gotten by on luck
Won a few and lost a few, oh, had to suck it up
But I see where it's leadin' me, I've got to turn around
Today's the day I'm startin' makin' tracks for higher ground
For higher ground (higher ground)
Higher ground (higher ground)
You ain't goin' nowhere when you're always fallin' down
So get up on the good foot and stop stumblin' around
Man, I'm off and runnin' makin' tracks for higher ground
Yeah, I had a friend who said he loved to drink and run around
Wasn't any way on earth he'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 goin' nowhere when you're always fallin' down
You got to pick your head up, keep your mind and body sound
Man, I'm off and runnin' makin' tracks for higher ground
The moral of my story is a fool he never changed
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 off and makin' tracks for higher ground
Higher ground (higher ground)
Higher ground (higher ground)
You ain't goin' nowhere when you're always fallin' down
Get up on the good foot and stop stumblin' around
Man, we're off and runnin' makin' tracks for higher ground
Higher ground (higher ground)
For higher ground (higher ground)
You ain't goin' nowhere when you're always fallin' down
So get up on the good foot and stop stumblin' around
Man, we're off and runnin' makin' tracks for higher ground
Oh, off and runnin', baby, for higher ground
For higher ground, baby
Off and runnin' now for higher ground
Don't let me down, mama
We're all runnin' off to higher ground
Hey
That's right
