Lyrics

[Verse 1]

People keep on learnin'

Soldiers keep on warrin'

World keep on turnin'

'Cause it won't be too long

[Verse 2]

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

'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

[Verse 3]

Teachers keep on teachin'

Preachers keep on preachin'

World keep on turnin'

'Cause it won't be too long

Oh, no

[Verse 4]

Lovers keep on lovin'

Believers keep on believin'

Sleepers just stop sleepin'

'Cause it won't be too long

Oh, no

[Chorus]

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

Till I reach my highest ground

[Outro]

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 you higher
