The Higher Road

Описание: (Verse 1)
It’s easy to smile when the sun is out
And the world is singing your name
It’s easy to give when the hands are clean
And the kindness feels the same
But the shadows grow when the words get sharp
And the bitter hearts start to pull
That’s when the measure of a man begins
When the glass is less than full.
(Pre-Chorus)
It’s a heavy weight to hold your tongue
When the fire wants to rise
But there’s a deeper strength in a quiet heart
And a truth behind the eyes.
(Chorus)
Love! Kindness! Empathy!
Kindness! Empathy! Love!
Because it takes class to stand in the pouring rain
And offer up your coat to the one who caused the pain
It takes honor to bridge the Great Divide
To reach across the canyon and swallow down the pride
Yeah, it’s a difficult grace, a different kind of tough
To show a little love when the world is being rough.
(Verse 2)
They might not say thank you, they might not even see
The battle that you fought just to let the anger be
But you don't do the right thing for the trophy or the light
You do it for the person that you look at every night
In the mirror, in the silence, in the steady beat of truth
You’re building up a legacy, the wisdom and the youth.
(Bridge)
It’s a choice, it’s a mission, it’s a line in the sand
To be the one who offers an open, steady hand
Even to the cold, even to the lost
To show them what it looks like, no matter what the cost.
(Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break)
(Chorus)
Love! Kindness! Empathy!
Kindness! Empathy! Love!
Because it takes class to stand in the pouring rain
And offer up your coat to the one who caused the pain
It takes honor to bridge the Great Divide
To reach across the canyon and swallow down the pride
Yeah, it’s a difficult grace, a different kind of tough
To show a little love when the world is being rough.
(Outro)
To swallow the pride...
To show a little love...
That’s what everyone should provide
That’s the way we rise above.....
(Fade out)
