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

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 the highest ground

Teachers keep on teachin'

Preachers keep on preachin'

World keep on turnin'

Cause it won't be too long

Oh no

Lovers keep on lovin'

Believers keep on believin'

Sleepers just stop sleepin'

Cause it won't be too long

Oh no

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

Till I reach my highest ground

No one's gonna bring me down

Oh no

Till I reach my highest ground

Don't you let nobody

Bring you down

They'll sho 'nuff try

God is gonna show
