Lyrics
So now it's over tears on your shoulder have helped me get along
The days were longer the nights were colder I sang the burden of a song
Over and over low in the lowlands till you walked into sight
And you took me to a higher place
Where we looked down on a thousand points of light
We'd been invaded investigated and trodden like the dirt
We felt defeated broken and beaten the fear of failing at its worst
Was there a future we couldn't see it till you walked into sight
And you took us to a higher place
Where we looked down on a thousand points of light
We've got friends in the darkness
We only see them in the darkest hour
Like the flowers in the desert
Like the saucers on the air
We've got friend sin the darkness
Who are gonna help us get it right
'Cos they'll take us to a higher place
Where we'll look down on a thousand points of light.
With your existence a new resistance in fighting for the just
Today or never to stand together or disappear into the dust
We're speaking softly but growing stronger since you walked into sight
And you took us to a higher place
Where we looked down on a thousand points of light
