lyrics

Some days are dragons
some days are flies
some days I work real hard
to avoid your eyes
I give you lip
you throw me shade
but we climb to higher ground
some days

Old Noah was late
building that ark
he said "I can only build in the day
not after dark"
The Lord said, "Noah, buddy,
find a way
or you won't make it to higher ground
no way"

Back and forth
is the law of the land
what starts out on the ocean
winds up on the sand
don't leave me hanging
no not today
I want to find some higher ground
some way

they spurned the Magdalene
called her a whore
she'd been dead so long
what'd they do that for
Now these old, robed men
are hanging tough
but we all know their higher ground
isn't high enough

Back and forth
is the law of the land
what starts out on the ocean
winds up on the sand
don't leave me hanging
no not today
I want to find some higher ground
some way

Some days are dragons
some days are pie
we can all get burned
or all get a slice
and if we're quiet
and enjoy our pie
we could all make it to higher ground
would't that be nice
OH!
we could all make it to higher ground
wouldn't that be nice.
