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 want to be.
  Precious angel, don’t you know you’re already everything to me?
  And though sometimes it seems a cold, hard rain’s
  tryin’ to 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.
  
  Yes, 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.
  Yes, I believe in you.
  
  So, please, little angel, don’t give up on yourself.
  Don’t let nothing get you down.
  Just keep on reaching for your higher ground.
