There’s a River Lyrics

Song Lyrics on Allspirit

Steve Winwood

Winwood/Jennings

There’s a river pouring
From a pure and a crystal stream
And it carries my heart along
Carries me all my life
And I know it will bring me home

There’s a choir singing
With a force that can light the sky
I will join with a voice deep inside
Anthems for joys gone by
And for joys I am sure will come

Golden treasure in the evening sky
It’s good to be alive
Golden measure, hear the music cry
When my heart sings
Of golden things

There’s a dove ascending
Like my thoughts in the summer sky
And she carries my soul along
Clear to eternity
And I know I am not alone

Golden treasure in the evening sky
It’s good to be alive
Golden measure, hear the music cry
When my heart sings
Of golden things

There’s a river pouring
From a pure and a crystal stream
And it carries my heart along
Carries me all my life
And I know it will bring me home

The Morning Side Lyrics

Song Lyrics on Allspirit

Steve Winwood

Winwood/Jennings

You meet every kind of person moving toward the morning side
You see the good and the bad, the eyes are sad
You play every midnight gambler before you see the light
On the morning side, the morning side

You feel every heat and passion moving towards the morning side
To earn one more second chance, you learn the dance
When you finally climb the mountain, you see the other side
It’s the morning side, the morning side

Now my life has changed and now my eyes can see
Now I’m living on the morning side
Now I’m letting all the sunlight into me
Now I’m free

And I know I’ll never pass that way again
That dark journey to the morning side
On the morning side I feel my life begin
Let’s begin

Reach for the Light Lyrics

Song Lyrics on Allspirit

Steve Winwood

(Weil)

Balto Soundtrack 1995

Deep in the night
the winds blow cold
and in a heartbeat
the fear takes hold

Deep in the storm
there’s a place that’s soft and still
where the road waits to be taken
if you only will

The voices inside you
can lead your soul astray
Believe in what you dream
Don’t turn away
don’t you turn away

Reach for the light
You might touch the sky
Stand on the mountaintop
and see yourself flying
Reach for the light
to capture a star
Come out of the darkness
and find out who you are

Somewhere in time
the truth shines through
and the spirit knows
what it has to do

Somewhere in you
there’s a power with no name
It can rise to meet the moment
and burn like a flame

And you can be stronger
than anything you know
Hold on to what you see
Don’t let it go
don’t you let it go

Now, there’s no turning back
when your destiny is calling
Listen to the thunder roll
and let your heart break free

Reach for the light

Higher Love Lyrics

Song Lyrics on Allspirit

Steve Winwood

Winwood/Jennings

Think about it, there must be higher love
Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above
Without it, life is a wasted time
Look inside your heart, I’ll look inside mine
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Falling behind in what could be

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Where’s that higher love I keep thinking of?

Worlds are turning and we’re just hanging on
Facing our fear and standing out there alone
A yearning, and it’s real to me
There must be someone who’s feeling for me
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Falling behind in what could be

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Where’s that higher love I keep thinking of?

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring be a higher love
I could rise above on a higher love

I will wait for it
I’m not too late for it
Until then, I’ll sing my song
To cheer the night along
Bring it…Oh bring it…

I could light the night up with my soul on fire
I could make the sun shine from pure desire
Let me feel that love come over me
Let me feel how strong it could be

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Where’s that higher love I keep thinking of?

Put On Your Dancin’ Shoes Lyrics

Song Lyrics on Allspirit

Steve Winwood From the Album Roll With It 1988

Winwood/Jennings

So much going on out there, leaves us hanging in the air
And it’s all that we can do to face each day and see it though
Life’s a dance, put on your dancing shoes, take a chance

You can’t shut your eyes to pain, faces crying in the rain
You can’t keep it all inside, you need some way to let it ride
Life’s a dance, put on your dancing shoes, take a chance

When you’re all over, when you know you’ve done all that you can do
Put on your dancing shoes, it’ll see you through

Voices shouting in the street, life lived to a ragged beat
Someone’s world is tumbling down, and who’s the saint and where’s the clown?
Life’s a dance, put on your dancing shoes, take a chance

When you’re all over, when you know you’ve done all that you can do
Put on your dancing shoes, it’ll see you through
When time is flying, when you know there’s no end to these modern blues
Put on your dancing shoes, it’ll see you through
