Higher Ground-Words & Music by Luke Vassella 2022
The sign said we are the change
And it told the truth
We're all loose change of our masters
We’re small change of our donors
Come and see the change all over Lismore
If you want living proof
Guard my anger and bind up my rage
For the empty words over the people of Page
Higher ground
That’s where I'm going to
The higher ground
Raise up my spirit, don't let it drown
O Lord have mercy on our Lismore town
The sign said they were here for us
As if it were a fact
That debate is over, they’ve only been cheap brokers for the corporate state
How long have they failed to act
Guard my anger, bind up my rage
For the worthless promises to the people of Page
Higher ground
That’s where I'm going to
The higher ground
Raise up my spirit, don't let it drown
O Lord have mercy on our Lismore town
Human kindness, that's all that matters now
Human kindness, that's all that ever mattered anyhow
The sign said the Lord has a plan
To prosper and not to harm us
But that’s not the whole truth of our sins
Its just a cheap gospel to charm us
Guard my anger and bind up my rage
While you turn the tables
And drown the idols
In the temples of Page
Raise up my spirit, don't let it drown
O Lord have mercy on our Lismore town
Human kindness, that's all that matters now
Human kindness, that’s all that ever mattered anyhow
