Every hour of every day I'm 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 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 Every hour of every day I'm 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 Through fields to feast my eyes upon Intoxicated drinking from The loving cup of the burning sun Higher Ground is the second single from the 1993 album "Promises and Lies". This was a top 10 hit in the UK following the enormous success of the lead single “I Can’t Help Falling in Love with You”.
