And of course if the rather brilliant Bruce Hornsby weren't such an egotistical creep (despite his brilliant lyrics) , his music would be available for this moment, but it's not, because he is. I have just tossed my Hornsby CD into the trash, BTW. Sad. I like the guy.
But Steve Winwood isn't. So, instead, let's ignore the royal Bruce and go to Winwood's Higher Love. This cut is from MTV, so it has the normal sometimes icky 30 sec ad on the front...
Lyrics:
Think about it, there must be higher love
Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above
Without it, life is a wasted time
Look inside your heart, Ill look inside mine
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Falling behind in what could be
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Wheres that higher love I keep thinking of?
Worlds are turning and were just hanging on
Facing our fear and standing out there alone
A yearning, and its real to me
There must be someone whos feeling for me
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Falling behind in what could be
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Wheres that higher love I keep thinking of?
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring be a higher love
I could rise above on a higher love
I will wait for it
Im not too late for it
Until then, Ill sing my song
To cheer the night along
Bring it...oh bring it...
I could light the night up with my soul on fire
I could make the sun shine from pure desire
Let me feel that love come over me
Let me feel how strong it could be
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Wheres that higher love I keep thinking of?
How do we find middle ground?
