Higher Ground
Rising Above: Seeking Strength in Turbulent Waters
Lyrics
Lift me up to higher ground
Lift me up to a better and more elevated place
Lift me up, I'm sinking down
Help me rise because I'm currently in a state of decline
And I know the water's cold
Acknowledging difficulties ahead, metaphorically represented by cold water
And I might drown
Recognizing the possibility of failure or struggle
Lord, lift me up to higher ground
Seeking divine assistance to reach a spiritually elevated state
I feel the night closing in
Feeling a sense of darkness or challenges closing in
I feel the tide rising again
Sensing the challenges or troubles intensifying
And serenity slippin' away from me, oh no
Experiencing a loss of inner peace or tranquility
The sea of life, it batters the shore
Life's struggles are battering the person like waves on the shore
The water's higher than ever before
Challenges are more significant than ever
Gotta find me a way to get out of here
Expressing a desire to find a way out of the current situation
Gotta find me a way to get past the fear
Seeking a path to overcome fear
Lift me up to higher ground
Reiterating the plea for divine assistance to reach a higher spiritual state
Lift me up, I'm sinking down And I know
Continuing to request help while acknowledging the challenging conditions
the water's cold
Reiterating awareness of the difficulties (cold water)
And I might drown
Recognizing the risk of succumbing to challenges
Lord, lift me up to higher ground
Continuing to seek divine intervention for elevation
I've done my best, I still can't win
Despite efforts, feeling unable to overcome challenges
And there's no rest from the state I'm in
No relief from the current difficult state
Insecurity's getting the best of me, oh no
Insecurity is negatively impacting well-being
I see the light on a distant shore
Seeing hope or a positive outcome in the distance
But I'm to tired to row any more
Exhausted and unable to make progress toward the positive outcome
Won't You give me the strength to get through the wind
Requesting strength to overcome challenges (wind)
Won't You show me the way to get home again
Seeking guidance to find the way back to a better place
Lift me up to higher ground
Repeating the plea for elevation to a higher spiritual state
Lift me up, I'm sinking down
Reiterating the need for assistance while facing a decline
And I know the water's cold
Acknowledging the challenges and difficulties
And I might drown
Recognizing the risk of succumbing to challenges (drowning)
Lord, lift me up to higher ground
Continuing to seek divine help for elevation
(Repeat Refrain)
Repeating the refrain, emphasizing the ongoing need for assistance
