The song "Higher Ground" by John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band is about a simple man trying to find his way and keep his faith in a world that he doesn't understand. The lyrics talk about his struggles and how he finds peace and comfort in his partner's love. The chorus suggests that trouble is coming down, but the man is moving up to higher ground, both figuratively and literally. He sings about the best things he has had in life, which he would give to his partner if he could, and talks about the early morning sun and his promise to fulfill his partner's needs. The song is ultimately about finding strength and comfort in love and striving towards a better future.
