Higher Ground

People keep on learnin’
Soldiers keep on warrin’
World keep on turnin’
'Cause it won’t be too long, oh no

Powers keep on lyin’
While your people they keep on dyin’
World keep on turnin’
'Cause it won’t be too long, oh yeah

I’m so darn glad he let me try it again
My last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin
I’m so glad that I know more than I knew then
Gonna keep on tryin’ till I reach the highest ground

Teachers keep on teachin’
Preachers keep on preachin’
World keep on turnin’
'Cause it won’t be too long

Lovers keep on lovin’
Believers keep on believin’
Sleepers just stop sleepin’
'Cause it won’t be too long, oh no

I’m so darn glad he let me try it again
My last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin
I’m so glad that I know more than I knew then
Gonna keep on tryin’ till I reach my highest ground, oh Lord

Till I reach my highest ground, oh yeah
Ain't nobody bring me down
