0:16Walk me over this horizon
0:23Let the sun's light warm my face
0:30Once again the times are changing
0:37Once again I've lost my way
0:43While the words of acient poets
0:46Fall like dust upon my shoes
0:50Greed has robbed me of my vision
0:53Turned my heart from higher truths
0:58So take my hand and lift me higher
1:07Be my love and my desire
1:14Hold me safe in honor bound
1:21Take my heart to higher ground
1:42I have walked too long in darkness
1:50I have walked too long alone
1:57Blindy clutching fist of diamonds
2:03That I found were only stones
2:09I would trade the wealth of ages
2:13For a warmer hand to hold
2:16Though the path of life is narrow
2:20But it leads the streets of gold
2:25So take my hand and lift me higher
2:33Be my love and my desire
2:40Hold me safe in honor bound
2:48Take my heart to higher ground
3:08In this world we move through shadows
3:11Never sure of what we see
3:15While the truth abides between us
3:18Come and share the truth with me
3:23So take my hand and lift me higher
3:32Be my love and my desire
3:39Hold me safe in honor bound
3:46Take my heart to higher ground
Walk me over this horizon Let the sun's light warm my face Once again the times are changing Once again I've lost my way While the words of acient poets Fall like dust upon my shoes Greed has robbed me of my vision Turned my heart from higher truths So take my hand and lift me higher Be my love and my desire Hold me safe in honor bound Take my heart to higher ground I have walked too long in darkness I have walked too long alone Blindy clutching fist of diamonds That I found were only stones I would trade the wealth of ages For a warmer hand to hold Though the path of life is narrow But it leads the streets of gold So take my hand and lift me higher Be my love and my desire Hold me safe in honor bound Take my heart to higher ground In this world we move through shadows Never sure of what we see While the truth abides between us Come and share the truth with me So take my hand and lift me higher Be my love and my desire Hold me safe in honor bound Take my heart to higher ground
