Текст Rumer — Frederick Douglass

A heart can be broken
A heart can despair
But a heart that is open
Will climb up the stairs

Looking for a higher love
We all want a higher love

Frederick Douglass, you’re my hero
‘Cause nothing could keep you down
Nothing could keep you down

Sometimes I feel so ashamed
When I can’t get back up again
I don’t stand up despite the pain
And I don’t walk on despite my rage

You had a higher love
You had a higher love

Read
With the first words of the prophet
Read
Just like Frederick Douglass
Read
Like my mother told me
Read

He wrote on stone and he wrote in the sand
He held the words right in his hand
To illuminate, emancipate
His beautiful mind

He had a higher love
He had a higher love
He had a higher love

Read
Were the first words of the prophet
Read
Just like Frederick Douglass
Read
Like my mother told me
Read
Just like Frederick Douglass

Oh, Frederick Douglass, you’re my hero
‘Cause nothing could keep you down
Nothing could keep you down

He had a higher love
He had a higher love

Oh let’s just try to be kind
Let’s try to be kind
Let’s try to be kind
Let’s try to be kind

Read
Were the first words of the prophet
Read
Just like Frederick Douglass
Read
Like my mother told me
Read
Just like Frederick Douglass

Oh, Frederick Douglass, you’re my hero
He walked on water
He walked on water
He walked on water
He walked on water
He walked on water
