This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the Higher Ground album, and has also been released on The John Denver Collection - Rocky Mountain High album.

There are those who can live
With the things they don t believe in
They are giving up their lives
For something that is less than it can be

Some have longed for a home
In a place of inspiration
Some will find the emptiness inside
By giving it all for the things that they believe
They believe

Maybe it s just a dream in me
Maybe it s just my style
Maybe it s juat the freedom that I ve found
Given the possibility
Of living up to the dream in me
You know I ll be reaching for higher ground

I will stand on my own
I will live up to the vision
I will trust in what I feel
I d follow my heart until it brings me home
Brings me home

Maybe it s just a dream in me
Maybe it s just my style
Maybe it s juat the freedom that I ve found
Given the possibility
Of living up to the dream in me
You know I ll be reaching for higher ground

Keep me through the night
Lead me to the light
Teach me the magic of wonder
Give me the spirit to fly

Maybe it s just a dream in me
Maybe it s just my style
Maybe it s juat the freedom that I ve found
Given the possibility
Of living up to the dream in me
You know I ll be reaching for higher ground

Maybe it s just a dream in me
Maybe it s just my style
Maybe it s juat the freedom that I ve found
Given the possibility
Of living up to the dream in me
You know I ll be reaching for higher ground
