Higher Ground

People

Keep on learnin'

Soldiers

Keep on warrin'

World

Keep on turnin'

'Cause it won't be too long

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

Because my last time on Earth I lived a whole world of sin

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

I'm 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'

While believers

Keep on believein'

Sleepers

Just stop sleepin'

'Cause it won't be too long

(chorus)

Spoken: Stevie knows that nobody's gonna bring me down

'Cause, me and Stevie see, we've been sailin' on that funky sound

Bustin' out and I'll break you out, uh, sailin' on

Just sailin' on, sailin' on the higher ground
