The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Higher Love" by the artist "Whitney Houston"

Contents

In "Higher Love," Whitney Houston expresses a deep longing for a transcendent, true love. The lyrical heroine feels a sense of emptiness and disillusionment with a world filled with injustice and loneliness. She believes that somewhere, there exists a "higher love" capable of filling her life with meaning and happiness.

Houston portrays this love as something all-consuming and transformative. She craves a feeling that will make her "shine" and "light up the night." There's a sense of hope and faith within the lyrics that this love is real, even if it's elusive. The repeated plea of "Give me higher love" serves as both a prayer and a call to whatever forces might be able to bestow this feeling upon her.

[Verse 1:]

Think about it

There must be higher love

Down in the heart or

Hidden in the stars above

Without it, life is wasted time

Look inside your heart and

I'll look inside mine

Things look so bad everywhere

In this whole world, what is fair

We walk the line

And try to see

Falling behind in what could be, oh

[Chorus:]

Bring me a higher love

Bring me a higher love, oh

Bring me a higher love

Where's that higher love

I keep thinking of

[Verse 2:]

Worlds are turning

And we're just hanging on

Facing our fear

And standing out there alone

A yearning, yeah, 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 the line

And try to see

Falling behind in what could be

[Chorus:]

Bring me a higher love

Bring me a higher love, oh

Bring me a higher love

Where's that higher love

I keep thinking of

[Post-Chorus:]

Bring me a higher love (my love)

Bring me a higher love, oh

Bring me a higher love

Where's that higher love

I've been thinking of

[Verse 3:]

I will wait for it

I'm not too late for it, no

Until then I'll sing my song, yeah

To cheer the night along

I could light the night up

With my soul on fire

I could make the sun shine

From pure desire, oh

Let me feel that love come over me, oh

Let me feel how strong it could be, oh, no

[Chorus:]

Bring me a higher love (my love)

Bring me a higher love, oh

Bring me a higher love (my love)

Where's that higher love

I keep thinking of

[Chorus:]

Bring me a higher love

Bring me a higher love, oh (you gotta bring it to me)

Bring me a higher love (bring me, bring me love)

A higher love

I keep thinking of

[Chorus:]

Bring me a higher love (bring me)

Bring me a higher love, (bring me a higher love)

Bring me a higher love (bring me, bring me, yeah)

A higher love

I keep thinking of

[Chorus:]

Bring me a higher love (bring me, bring me, bring it on)

Bring me a higher love, (bring it on)

Bring me a higher love (bring me, bring me, my love)

A higher love

I keep thinking of

[Chorus:]

Bring me a higher love (bring me, bring, oh yeah)

Bring me a higher love, (bring a higher love) oh (Can you feel it?)

Bring me a higher love (I don't feel it, I don't feel a higher love)

A higher love (a higher love)

I've been thinking of

[Outro:]

Bring me a higher love (bring me)

Bring me a higher love

Bring me a higher love

A higher love

I've been thinking of
