Bound For Higher Ground Lyrics by The New Journeymen

The Magic Circle

1999

Met my mother this morning
Comin' up the hill so soon
Tryin' to get to heaven in due time
For the heaven don't close
Tryin' to get to heaven in due time
For the heaven don't close
She's bound for higher ground
She's seeking the golden ground
And she can't remain on this earthly land
She's bound for higher ground
Why don't you wake me
Shake me
Don't ever sleep too late
Wake up children in the morning
Swing on the goldеn gate
Wake up children in thе morning
Swing on the golden gate
(You know I'm a-bound)
I'm bound for higher ground
(Well I'm bound)
I'm seeking the golden ground
And I can't remain on this earthly land
I'm bound for higher ground
(You know I'm a-bound)
I'm bound for higher ground
(Yes, I'm bound)
I'm seeking the golden ground
And I can't remain on this earthly land
I'm bound for higher ground
Well I met my sister this morning
Comin' up the hill so soon
Tryin' to get to heaven in due time
For the heaven don't close
Tryin' to get to heaven in due time
For the heaven don't close
(You know she's a-bound)
She's bound for higher ground
(She's bound)
She's seeking the golden ground
And she can't remain on this earthly land
She's bound for higher ground
I met my brother this morning
Comin' up the hill so soon
You know he's tryin' to get to heaven in due time
For the heaven don't close
Tryin' to get to heaven in due time
For the heaven don't close
(They're both bound)
They're bound for higher ground
(They're bound)
They're seeking the golden ground
And they can't remain on this earthly land
They're bound for higher ground
(You know they're bound)
They're bound for higher ground
(Said they're bound)
They're seeking the golden ground
And they can't remain on this earthly land
They're bound for higher ground
Why don't you wake me
Shake me
Don't ever sleep too late
Wake up children in the morning
Swing on the golden gate
Wake up children in the morning
Swing on the golden gate
You know I'm bound for higher ground
I'm seeking the golden ground
And I can't remain on this earthly land
I'm bound for higher ground
Can't remain on this earthly land
I'm bound for higher ground
