Higher Ground

D Bm G A

[Verse]
D                                Bm
When life hits you like a hurricane
                      G
Blind sides you with pain
                A
High winds and rain
                        D
And you see no end in sight
 D                   Bm
Though darkness may fall
                        G
And there's no hope at all
                     A
I know you'll stand tall
A
Like a beacon in the night

[Chorus]
                     G
I pray you always be strong
                Bm
You always be brave
                    A
Take heart and hold on for dear life
A                 G            
Wave after wave, after all 
Bm      A
those tears fall down, down, down
Em
Come hell or high water
D               A             D
Only love will find you higher 
ground

[Verse 2]
            D                     
When the streets are flooded with 
Bm
hate
                   G
Stand firm at your gate
                      A            
Keep your faith and forgive, and be
             D
 just like a child
                     Bm         
There's no color or race, just a 
   G
beautiful face
                         A
Make the world a better place
A
Change their life with your smile

[Chorus]
                     G
I pray you always be strong
                Bm
You always be brave
                    A
Take heart and hold on for dear life
A                 G            
Wave after wave, after all 
Bm      A
those tears fall down, down, down
Em
Come hell or high water
D               A             D
Only love will find you higher 
ground

Take heart and hold on for dear life
A                 G            
Wave after wave, after all 
Bm      A
those tears fall down, down, down
Em
Come hell or high water
D               A             D
Only love will find you higher
