Sometimes I wish this world was an easier place
And when I see those tears falling from your face
I pray, 'Little angel, don't give up on yourself
Don't let nothin' get you down
Just keep on reaching for your higher ground'

If you could only see yourself through my eyes
If I could only help you to realize
That there's a light inside of you, I can see it shinin' all around
Just keep on reaching for your higher ground

'Cause I believe in you, sure as a smile lights up a child's face
I believe in you, sure as the stars do shine in velvet space
I believe in you, sure as the morning sun kisses the sky
I believe in you with every beat of my heart, hear me testify
I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, yes, I believe in you

I see you tryin' so hard to be, who it is you wanna be?
Precious angel, don't you know you're already everything to me?
And though sometimes it seems a cold
Hard rain's tryna keep your visions down
Just keep on reaching for your higher ground

'Cause I believe in you, sure as a smile lights up a child's face
I believe in you, sure as the stars do shine in velvet space
I believe in you, sure as the morning sun kisses the sky
I believe in you with every beat of my heart hear me testify
I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe

Oh, I believe in you sure as the autumn leaves
Dance to the ground
I believe in you, sure as Heaven
Only knows what spins this world around

I believe in you, sure as the spring does melt a winter's snow
I believe in you, sure as the light you shine touches my soul
I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, yes, I believe in you

So, please little angel, don't give up on yourself
Don't let nothin' get you down
Just keep on reaching for your higher ground
