Take The High Road
The Oak Ridge Boys · Other Songs - The Oak Ridge Boys
Get up and take the high road
When you feel like you're all alone
Get up and take the high road, oh, no
Take the high road through the valley
Take the high road through the valley
Take the high road through the valley
If you wanna reach the Promised Land
Take the high road through the valley
Take the high road through the valley
Take the high road through the valley
If you wanna reach the Promised Land
Now we must keep the faith with each temptation
Like when you feel like you're cast in the storm
With every mile of trial and tribulation
Remember that we never walk alone
Take the high road through the valley
Take the high road through the valley
Take the high road through the valley
If you wanna reach the Promised Land
It's a lonely, winding path that we must travel
Leave it to our own God for help
The mysteries of the journey we'll unravel
We'll understand it all when we get there
Take the high road through the valley
Take the high road through the valley
Take the high road through the valley
If you wanna reach the Promised Land
Well, when the way gets deep and deep in sorrow
And now this step is more than you can bear
And just remember there's hope for tomorrow
Through the darkness, God will hear your prayer
Take the high road through the valley
Take the high road through the valley
Take the high road through the valley
If you wanna reach the Promised Land
Take the high road through the valley
Take the high road through the valley
Take the high road through the valley
If you wanna reach the Promised Land
Take the high road through the valley
Take the high road through the valley
Take the high road through the valley
If you wanna reach the Promised Land
If you wanna reach the Promised Land
