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.

Gonna keep on tryin' till I reach the highest ground
And Stevie knows that, uh, nobody's gonna bring me down
Till I reach the highest ground.
'Cause me 'n' Stevie, see, we're gonna be a sailin' on the funkysound
Till I reach the highest ground.
Bustin' out, and I'll break you out, 'cause I'm sailin' on
Till I reach the highest ground
Just, uh, sailin' on, sailin' on the higher ground
Till I reach the highest ground
