Higher Ground

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...Whew!

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 (they'll sho 'nuff try)
God is gonna show you higher ground
He's the only friend you have around
