Higher Ground

People, keep on learning

Soldiers, keep on warring

World, keep on turning

'Cause it won't be too long

Powers keep on lying

While your people keep on dying

World keep on turning

'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

Going to keep on trying

'Til I reach my highest ground

Teachers, keep on teaching

Preachers, keep on preaching

World, keep on turning

'Cause it won't be too long

Oh, no

Lovers, keep on loving

Believers, keep on believing

Sleepers, just stop sleeping

'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

Going to keep on trying

'Til I reach my highest ground

Woo

'Til I reach my highest ground

No one's gonna bring me down

Oh, no

'Til I reach my highest ground

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

God is gonna show you highest ground

He's the only friend you'll have around

'Cause the rest of the world will bring you down
