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

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!
