Higher Road
Finding Unity on the Higher Road: John Ralston's Reflective Journey
Lyrics
I don't go out searching
I am not actively seeking
I try to get lost
I intentionally lose myself
I am no longer seeking out your cup or your cross
I am no longer pursuing your influence or burden
So, if you ever get to wandering 'cause you've been wondering where I am
If you wonder about my whereabouts
If I appear more like smoke to you than like the water in your dam
If I seem elusive, like smoke rather than a solid presence
Don't turn away
Don't reject or ignore
There is a higher road just up ahead I'm told
There is a better path in the future, as advised
Oh, may we find it together
May we discover it together
May we remain forever one
May our unity persist indefinitely
Have I been distracted?
Have I been unfocused or diverted?
Nearer to absence than to man?
Closer to non-existence than humanity?
Lost in a fog of nothingness?
Trapped in a state of emptiness?
Adrift without a map or plan?
Without direction, purpose, or plan?
I can tell your patience is threadbare to the strand
Your patience seems worn thin to the limit
What was once a mighty ocean here is more like water through your hands
What was once significant is slipping away like water
Don't turn away
Don't disregard or avoid
There is a higher road just up ahead I'm told
A better path lies just ahead, as suggested
Oh, may we find it together
May we discover it together
May we remain forever one
May our unity endure indefinitely
There is a higher road just up ahead I'm told
A better path is rumored to be ahead
Oh, may we find it together
May we discover it together
May we remain forever one
May our unity persist indefinitely
