Higher Ground

(album: Distratto - 2012)

People keep on learning
Soldiers keep on warring
World keep on turning
'Cause it won't be too long
Powers keep on lying
While your people keep on dying
World keep on turning
'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 trying
Till I reach my highest ground

Teachers keep on teaching
Preachers keep on preaching
World keep on turning
'Cause it won't be too long, oh no
Lovers keep on loving
Believers keep on believing
Sleepers just stop sleeping
'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 trying
Till I reach my highest ground

An' Stevie knows that nobody's gonna bring me down
Till I reach the highest ground, 'cause me 'n' Stevie, see
We're gonna be a sailing on the funky, funky sound (till I reach the highest ground)
Busting out and I'll break you out, 'cause I'm sailing on
(Till I reach the highest ground)
Just sailing on, sailing on the higher ground (till I reach the highest ground)
