Lyrics
Highest Place (I'm Gone)
Copyright 2000
ASCAP
(verse one)
A quiet starry eve, deep in a solitary dream
Either have your soul to keep or share it with a friend
If you got nowhere to go, you can have my place to stay
Only take your role in life and walk in a beautiful way.
(bridge )
I hope this letter see's you well, I hope you feel fine.
I wish you and I could break this spell, I wish we both had time.
Loneliness in the hands of God can only lead to peace.
Why the heart we have to break to swim in this cordial sea of joy?
(chorus)
Can you take me to the highest place you know?
Can you comfort me and show me where to roam?
Can you lend a hand and call me your own?
Till that one day comes when you realize I'm gone.
(verse two)
Slowly down the path you find that time runs full circle.
Memories race through your mind like chanting voices in church steeples.
Like making your way through flocks of uncertain people.
Then only to become one of them and walk in a beautiful way.
