Higher Ground

[Verse 1]

People, keep on learnin'

Soldiers, keep on warrin'

World, keep on turnin'

'Cause it won't be too long, oh no

[Verse 2]

Powers, keep on lyin'

While your people, they keep on dyin'

World, keep on turnin'

'Cause it won't be too long, oh yeah

[Chorus]

I'm so darn glad he let me try it again

My last time on earth, I lived a whole lot of sin

I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then

Gonna keep on tryin' 'til I reach the highest ground

[Verse 3]

Teachers, keep on teachin'

Preachers, keep on preachin'

World, keep on turnin'

'Cause it won't be too long

[Verse 4]

Lovers, keep on lovin'

Believers, keep on believin'

Sleepers, just stop sleepin'

'Cause it won't be too long, oh no

[Chorus]

And I'm so darn glad he let me try it again

My last time on earth, I lived a whole lot of sin

I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then

Gonna keep on tryin' 'til I reach the highest ground, oh Lord

[Outro]

'Til I reach the highest ground, oh yeah

Ain't nobody bring me down
