Higher Ground

[Verse 1]

People keep on learnin'

Soldiers keep on warrin'

World keep on turnin'

Cause it won't be too long

[Verse 2]

Powers keep on lyin'

While your people keep on dyin'

World keep on turnin'

Cause it won't be too long

[Chorus]

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

Cause 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

[Verse 3]

Teachers keep on teachin'

Preachers keep on preachin'

World keep on turnin'

Cause it won't be too long

Oh no

[Verse 4]

Lovers keep on lovin'

Believers keep on believin'

Sleepers just stop sleepin'

Cause it won't be too long

Oh no

[Chorus]

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

Cause 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...Whew!

[Outro]

Till I reach my highest ground

No one's gonna bring me down

Oh no

Till I reach my highest ground

Don't let nobody bring you down (they'll sho 'nuff try)

God is gonna show you higher ground

He's the only friend you have around
