You´ve been my inspiration
And I´ve loved you or so long
And in my times of desperation
I was weak and your love made me strong
So in those times when you can´t stop
The rain from falling
When you raise your voice
And think, no one hears you calling
When you need someone
And you think you´ve looked everywhere
You better think again
`Cause I´ll be there
I´ll be standing on higher ground
When the water´s getting deep
And there´s no one else around
I`ll be standing on higher ground
I´ll be there for you I will care for you
I swear to you I won´t let you down
Higher ground is the place I found
Through the love you gave me
When I was down
(And) the highest part in every heart
Is when you give to someone else
Without thinking of yourself
I´ll be standing on higher ground
When the water´s getting deep
And there´s no one else around
I`ll be standing on higher ground
I´ll be there for you I will care for you
I swear to you I won´t let you down
And in my times of desperation
When I was weak your love made me strong
So in those times when you can´t stop
The rain from falling
When you raise your voice
And think, no one hears you calling
When you need someone
And you think you´ve looked everywhere
You better think again
`Cause I´ll be there
I´ll be standing on higher ground
When the water´s getting deep
And there´s no one else around
I`ll be standing on higher ground
I´ll be there for you I will care for you
I swear to you I won´t let you down
These hands were made to help you
Just to touch you and to give
All the love that you´ve been giving me
And in my heart is whre you live
