Higher Ground

People keep on learnin'
Soldiers keep on warrin'
World keep on turnin'
'Cause it won't be too long

No, oh oh oh

Powers keep on lyin'
While your people keep on dyin'
Alright, 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 the 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, alright...
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 the 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
Till I reach my highest ground
Yeah, oh oh till I reach my highest ground

No one's gonna bring me down
No, no, no, no
Till I reach my highest ground

Don't you let nobody bring you down
God is gonna show you higher ground
