The lyrics to this song which is sung by Barbara Streisand was shared with me recently and I thought I would share it here because I know who brought me through the hell Ive been through and who is bringing me out with my Higher Powers messengers. even here, all of you are messengers and thank you. The whole CD is spiritual and uplifting.

Higher Ground-Barbara Streisand

Walk me over
this horizon
let the sun's light
warm my face
once again the times are changin
once again i lost my way
well the words of ancient poets
fall like dust upon my shoes
grief 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
and honor bound
take my heart to
higher ground
I have walked
too long in darkness
I have walked
too long alone
blindly clutching
fists of diamonds
that i found were only stones
i would trade the world of ages
for a warmer hand to hold
the path of light is narrow
but it leads to streets of gold
so take my hand
and lift me higher
be my love and my desire
hold me safe
and honor bound
take my heart to
higher ground

in this world
we move through shadows
never sure
of what we see
while the truth that lies 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
and honor bound
take my heart to
higher
higher ground

Thank you :)

nml....Thanxs for sharing that song by Barbra Streisand...I have it on one of her CDs....I could just hear her voice singing it as I read through the words...I just really am touched with this experience....YOU GO GIRL!!!!!

Thank you Nancy.

Thanks :) Speaking of songs...I think "Unwell" by Matchbox 20 has some interesting lyrics...it just seems to fit with what many of us are experiencing...at least the part i remember (I don't know the whole thing but the chorus goes something like this):

"i'm not crazy
i'm just a little unwell,
right now
i know you can't tell
but stay a while
and maybe then you'll see
a different side of me..."

ok i don't remember how the rest of it goes...does anyone else?

Nml, that was beautiful. Thanks

Reallydown, i lol when i read your post. I often think of that as my song of the day! Will try to find the words.

jods

Here are the full lyrics to Unwell, by Matchbox 20

All day
Staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night
Hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something
Hold on
I'm feeling like I'm headed for a
Breakdown
I don't know why
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
Me
Talking to myself in public
Dodging glances on the train
I know
I know they've all been talking 'bout me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong
With me
Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow
I've lost my mind
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
I been talking in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
Yeah, they're taking me away
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
Hey, how I used to be
How I used to be, yeah
Well I'm just a little unwell
How I used to be
How I used to be

Wow, I've listened to that song quite often...
Lyrics didn't have quite the impact until now...

Thanks Anthony--now I remember why I thought that song (the whole thing) hit home!

LOL....that song has been one I have been using to describe myself since I first heard it!
