lyrics

I grew up a child of the cold war
Being told who I should be rooting for
Trying to make some sense of all the hate
It seems we were content with a nervous stalemate

Thinking we had heard it all
But was it just us who tore down that wall
But whatever was the lie
The whole thing crumbled because of people pushing on both sides

(They were looking for that...)
(chorus)
moral higher-ground
moral higher-ground
Can you hear that sound
It's the moral higher-goal
But we're sitting there so proud
Though it's not ours to be found
'cause we're headed off a cliff looking for that
moral higher-ground

Now we can't turn off the news
Who killed who for their religious views
Seems the constant bulletins have made us numb
but it doesn't stop our leaders from beating on that drum

Our enemies are different from then
Names like Al Qayda, ISIS and Taliban
But are we really fighting a billion souls
Do we really know the reason? Do we understand the goal?

(are we looking for that...)
(chorus)

(bridge)
Moral higher-ground
moral higher-ground

Now the answers aren't so clear
Even the opinions really aren't sincere
Seems all everyone wants is some quick fix
But they've taken our attention from the problem with their tricks

So if you must preach from your book
Remember all the thieves and liars we mistook
'cause the answer's in our hearts
And perhaps asking the questions is real good way to start

(while we're looking for that...)
(chorus) x2

I've been playing music for 35 years and writing poetry for about the same amount of time. As a songwriter I've only recently felt I was good enough to publish. Hope you like it!
