Higher Ground

[Intro]

There's a lot of messages going on in the world today

This here is a message

Not only is it a good message but it's a right message

Listen

[Verse 1]

People keep on learnin'

Preacher, don't stop preachin'

'Cause I know that this old world is gonna stop turnin'

And it won't be too long

[Verse 2]

Powers, keep on lyin'

While your people, while they keep on dyin'

But this old world is gonna soon stop turnin'

And it won't be too long

I tell you it won't be too long

[Chorus]

I'm so glad He let me try it again

'Cause my last time on earth I lived a lot of sin

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

I'm gonna keep on tryin'

'Til I reach my highest ground

[Verse 3]

You teacher, keep on teachin'

Believer, keep on believin'

Sleepers, keep on sleepin'

And it won't be long

Tell you it won't be long

[Verse 4]

Lovers, lovers, please don't stop lovin'

Lover, go out and help a sweet fox

This old world, this old world is gonna stop turnin'

And it won't, won't be long

I tell you about each other, learn what's goin' on

[Chorus]

I'm so glad He let me try it again

'Cause my last time on earth I lived a lot of sin

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

I'm gonna keep on tryin'

'Til I reach my highest ground, mmm

[Outro]

I'm gonna keep on learnin'

And I'm gonna keep on teachin'

'Cause that's the way to our highest ground

I'ma keep on climbin' step by step

Little bit higher, little bit higher
