St. Denis - Higher Ground Lyrics

Woke up to the sound of fury
Spreading like a fire
The voices of the ghosts were calling
Far beyond the grave
They never found the resting place
Promised by the elders
And they won't go to sleep tonight
'Till they find a higher ground

Na na na na na
Na na na na na oh
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na

All the struggle, all the pain
Remain for generations
Something you might see some day
On all your children's faces
Am I not my brother's keeper
Even when the sun goes down
So no one's goin' to sleep tonight
'Till we find a higher ground

Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na
We won't sleep tonight
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
We won't sleep tonight
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na

Look, come and see the shooting stars
Tracing lines across the sky
Something greater than you and I
Will be uniting us again
Let's get to a higher ground

Mother Father they can hear
Voices all around
They can always feel the presence
Of the children never found
Digging deeper fighting harder
To make sense of it all
They won't go to sleep tonight
'Till they find a higher ground

Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Long, Long into the night
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
We'll be searching our hearts
Na na na na na
We'll searching for a higher ground
Na na na na na na

Look, come and see the shooting stars
Tracing lines across the sky
Something greater than you and I
Will be uniting us again
Let's get to a higher ground

Long, Long into the night
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
We'll be searching our hearts
Na na na na na
We'll searching for a higher ground
Na na na na na na

Long, Long into the night
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
We'll be searching our hearts
Na na na na na
We'll searching for a higher ground
Na na na na na na
