I was lying in the wreckage when I heard it calling
I was falling through the skies when I heard it speak
Calling out in the voice of the stranger
The words of the preacher and the medicine man
Somewhere there is a country
Somehow that flies no flag
Someway we’ll make that HIGHER CALL
I was drowning in the water when I heard it whispering
I was fighting in a foreign field when it called to me
Calling out in the voice of the lawyer
The carpetbagger and the politician
Somewhere there is a country
Somehow that flies no flag
Someway we’ll make that HIGHER CALL
Heard it spoken in the bleeding sounds of freedom
Heard it spoken in the silence all around
Hear it comes, hear it comes
Somewhere there is a freedom
Somehow there is a hope
Someway we’ll make that HIGHER CALL
Somewhere there is a country
Somehow that flies no flag
Someway we’ll make that HIGHER CALL
