UB40 – Higher Ground lyrics

UB40 – Higher Ground lyrics

Moon and stars sit way up high
Earth and trees beneath them lie
The wind blows fragrant lullaby
To cool the night for you and i
On the wing the birds fly free
Leviathan tames angry sea
The flower waits for honeybee
The sunrise wakes new life in me.

(chorus)

And every hour of every day Im learning more
The more I learn, the less I know about before
The less I know, the more I want to look around
Digging deep for clues on higher ground...

The fishes swim while rivers run
Thru fields to feast my eyes upon
Intoxicated drinking from
The loving cup of burning sun
In dreams I'll crave familiar taste
Of whispered rain on weary face
Of kisses sweet and warm embrace
Another time another place

(chorus)

And every hour of everyday Im learning more
The more I learn, the less I know about before
The less I know, the more I want to look around
Digging deep for clues on higher ground...

I think he is talking about how ever around him seems so beautiful and yet he has realized how unhappy he is. From a pass relationship and now wants to find happiness like the fishes in the river and the natural beauty of the world . He now wants to forget the pass and move on to bigger and better things .
