Higher Rock

Mary weeped over me

Mary weeped over me

Turned on a dime, said to me

"When you reach for the higher rock

Then you reach for me"

Saul told Daniel, "Come play for me"

Saul told Daniel, "Come pray for me

Trouble in mind won't let me be

When you reach for the higher rock

Then you reach for me"

Rock in hand won't let you be

Rock in hand won't let you be

It's the open hand will set you free

When you reach for the higher rock

Then you reach for me

Coal man say he's got a deal for me

Coal man say he's got a deal for me

That black gold a-chokin' me

When you reach for the higher rock

Then you reach for me

Shackle and chain can't settle me

Shackle and chain can't settle me

Been strung up on a dogwood tree

When you reach for the higher rock

Then you reach for me

Gilded cage (gilded cage, gilded cage) is a treachery

Gilded cage (gilded cage, gilded cage) is a treachery

Heart of gold (gold, gold, gold, gold) that holds the key

When you reach for the higher rock

Then you reach for me

When you reach for the higher rock

Then you reach for me

When you reach for the higher rock

Then you reach for me
