Higher Ground
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
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, gonna keep on tryin'
Till I reach my highest ground, whew
Till I reach my highest ground
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 ground
He's the only friend you have around
