Higher Love
-.- Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above
Without it, life is 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
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love (oh oh)
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 (oh oh)
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love (oh oh)
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)
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
Oh oh oh
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love (oh oh)
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love, oh oh (bring me)
Bring me a higher love (oh oh)
Bring me a higher love (oh oh)
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love (oh oh)
I said, bring me
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love (oh oh oh)
Bring me a higher love (whoa whoa whoa)
(Bring me higher love) bring me a higher love, oh oh
(Bring me higher love) bring me a higher love (bring it on)
There's that love, bring me higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love (I said bring)
Bring me a higher love (oh yeah)
Bring me higher love
Bring me a higher love (higher, high, higher)
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
In "Higher Love," Steve Winwood explores the human desire for a deeper, more meaningful connection with oneself, others, and the universe. He suggests that there is a "higher love" that exists either within our hearts or beyond the physical realm, and that without it, life is mere existence - a waste of time. The song describes the struggles of the human experience with the world's injustices and how we are often navigating through life blindly. Winwood recognizes that this leaves us feeling unfulfilled and yearning for something more substantial. Ultimately, the lyrics call for us to bring that higher love into our lives, so that we may lift ourselves and our world to a higher state of being.
Line by Line Meaning
Think about it, there must be higher love
Contemplate the existence of love beyond what we have experienced thus far
Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above
It could be found within us or beyond us
Without it, life is wasted time
Life is meaningless without the presence of love
Look inside your heart, I'll look inside mine
Let us both search within ourselves for this higher love
Things look so bad everywhere
The state of the world appears bleak
In this whole world, what is fair?
What is just and right in this entire world?
We walk blind and we try to see
We are moving forward with uncertainty, trying to find understanding
Falling behind in what could be
We are not reaching our full potential
Bring me a higher love
Please bring me this elusive love
Bring me a higher love (oh oh)
I am in need of this love
Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?
This love is always on my mind, but it has yet to be found
Worlds are turning and we're just hanging on
The world keeps moving while we are just surviving
Facing our fear and standing out there alone
Confronting our fears and feeling isolated in the process
A yearning, and it's real to me
This desire for love is intense and genuine
There must be someone who's feeling for me
There should be someone who feels love for me
Bring me a higher love (oh oh)
I am longing for this higher love again
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?
I still have not found that higher love
Bring me a higher love / I could rise above on a higher love
This love could elevate and change me
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)
I will patiently wait and continue to sing and uplift myself and others
I could light the night up with my soul on fire
I could make the sun shine from pure desire
I am capable of spreading love and joy with my passion and fervor
Let me feel that love come over me
Let me feel how strong it could be
I want to experience the full strength and depth of love
Bring me a higher love (oh oh)
Bring be a higher love
I need this higher love so badly
I said, bring me
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love (oh oh oh)
Bring me a higher love (whoa whoa whoa)
I am pleading for this love
(Bring me higher love) bring me a higher love, oh oh
(Bring me higher love) bring me a higher love (bring it on)
There's that love, bring me higher love
Bring me a higher love
Again, I am begging for this higher love

WHEN GOD CREATED US HE LEFT A HOLE IN OUR HEARTS ONLY HE CAN FILL!
JESUS IS THE HIGHER LOVE STEVE AND ALL LONG FOR!
JESUS KNOCKS ON YOUR HEART AND LONGS FOR YOU TO ANSWER! HE DOESN'T WANT TO SEE ANYONE PERISH INTO HELL. GOD LOVES YOU SO HE GIVES YOU FREE WILL AND A CHOICE TO ACCEPT HIM OR REJECT HIM. TO LOVE HIM OR TO LOVE SIN/THIS WORLD. CALL UPON JESUS & ASK HIM TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS! SURRENDER YOUR WILL & YOUR LIFE TO HIM AND HE WILL GIVE YOU ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN! PICTURE YOUR BEST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A BILLION FOR ETERNITY, THAT'S HEAVEN! NOW PICTURE YOUR WORST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A BILLION FOR ETERNITY, THAT'S HELL! HE WILL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT SO IF YOU REJECT HIM YOU WILL BE SEPARATED FROM HIM & HIS BLESSINGS (LOVE, PEACE, JOY, HOPE, REST, ETC). IN HELL YOU WILL BE ALONE WITHOUT GOD OR PEOPLE, YOU WILL BE HOPELESS, YOU WILL BE IN DESPAIR & AGONY FOREVER!
GOD'S STANDARD FOR HEAVEN IS PERFECTION AND ONLY JESUS (THE SON OF GOD/GOD IN THE FLESH) LIVED THAT PERFECT LIFE! HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE & TOOK THE WRATH OF THE FATHER ON THE CROSS FOR YOUR SINS! GOD IS JUST SO HE MUST PUNISH SIN & HE IS HOLY SO NO SIN CAN ENTER HIS KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. IF YOU ARE IN CHRIST ON JUDGEMENT DAY GOD WILL SEE YOU AS HIS PERFECT SON (SINLESS SINCE YOUR SINS ARE COVERED BY JESUS' OFFERING). YOU CAN ALSO CHOOSE TO REJECT JESUS' GIFT/SACRIFICE & PAY FOR YOUR OWN SIN WITH DEATH (HELL) BUT THAT SEEMS PRETTY FOOLISH! GOD SEES & HEARS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID & DONE. YOU WONT WIN AN ARGUMENT ON JUDGEMENT DAY & YOU CANT DEFEND ANY OF YOUR SINS TO HIM. WE'RE ALL GUILTY WITHOUT ACCEPTING JESUS' SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS!
MUHAMMAD DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, BUDDHA DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, NO PASTOR/PRIEST/MARY OR SAINT DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO IDOLS OR FALSE GODS DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO ACTOR OR CELEBRITY DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO ATHLETE OR POLITICIAN DIED FOR YOUR SINS!
JESUS CHRIST ALONE DIED FOR YOUR SINS & WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE GRAVE! HE IS ALIVE & COMING BACK VERY SOON (THESE ARE END TIMES) WITH JUDGEMENT! PREPARE YOURSELVES, TURN FROM SIN & RUN TO JESUS! IT'S NOT ABOUT RELIGION, TITHING, CHURCH... IT STARTS WITH ASKING HIM TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS & INVITING HIM INTO YOUR HEART/LIFE, SURRENDER ALL TO HIM! IT'S ABOUT A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR CREATOR. HE KNOWS YOUR PAIN & TROUBLES, TALK TO HIM LIKE A BEST FRIEND! ASK HIM TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU & HELP YOU TO BELIEVE IF YOU DOUBT! DON'T WAIT TO CRY OUT! NO ONE IS PROMISED TOMORROW! HE LONGS FOR YOU TO INVITE HIM IN, HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANY PERSON EVER COULD, HE CREATED YOU!
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."-John 14:6
"But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven."-Matthew 10:33
“For the wages of sin is death (hell), but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”-Romans 6:23

@@jamilaandersson4778 And it sounds funny because of course the 20 & 30 year olds think we are 'living everything from thoes days'. The reality is the artists of today couldn't come near to creating the 80s music because their style is so VERY different.
Simply put we lived thru an era of great diversity, learning and change. We learned so much from our own life experiences and carried that knowledge with us to try to improve things for our 'kids' - younger generation. Sometimes successfully sometimes not so much, but we tried to pass along the things we'd learned along our travels through life.
The 80's brought with it new styles of music, clothing, how we collected info (computers)!and how we talked to bus me another (cellphones). The push was on, we shared, we lived & we loved. The music of the time was a complete change from what we grew up with. We brought new sound and styles that can't be touched although this age group brings there own musical style the we don't 'get' - same as our parents didn't understand our music but it is an eclectic collection of sounds, beat, tempo & flair - even the current age group enjoys some of the 80's style.
It's a collection of great music, changes, learning, great memories and experiences.
WE STILL LOVE THE 80's MUSIC! All thoes in favour hold up your lighter or cellphone and say "Yah!"💗
