Higher Ground

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 my 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

Till I reach my highest ground

No one's gonna bring me down

Oh, no

Till I reach my highest ground

Don't let nobody bring you down

God is gonna show you higher ground

He's the only friend you have around
