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

Teachers keep on teachin'Preachers keep on preachin'World keep on turnin'Cause it won't be too longOh no
Lovers keep on lovin'Believers keep on believin'Sleepers just stop sleepin'Cause it won't be too longOh no
I'm so glad that he let me try it againCause my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sinI'm so glad that I know more than I knew thenGonna keep on tryin'Till I reach my highest ground...Whew!
Till I reach my highest groundNo one's gonna bring me downOh noTill I reach my highest groundDon't let nobody bring you down (they'll sho 'nuff try)God is gonna show you higher groundHe's the only friend you have around
