higher ground

I should understand by now 
How the healing and the growing comes around
It's just a simple face that every tree needs cutting back
The tearing down and growing builds a heart that always lasts

And as the rain I have prayed for 
Brings flooding all around 
I will climb to higher ground

You learn to read the weather in this town
The wind starts blowing change is comin' round
Sometimes the breeze is quiet
Sometimes it cries all night
Sometimes it shakes and tears this house

You've got to hold on tight
And as the wind that I've prayed for 
Blows to dust what once was sound I will climb to higher ground

I'm still learning how to just let go
But when I try to hold it in I always overflow
Cause this restless heart is just to full
To hold anymore
So I'm letting some of it go
