Higher Ground

People, keep on learning
Soldiers, keep on warring
World, keep on turning
'Cause it won't be too long, oh no

Powers, keep on lying
While your people, they keep on dying
World, keep on turning
'Cause it won't be too long, oh yeah

I'm so darn glad he let me try it again
My last time on earth, I lived a whole lot of sin
I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then
Gonna keep on trying 'til I reach the highest ground

Teachers, keep on teaching
Preachers, keep on preaching
World, keep on turning
'Cause it won't be too long

Lovers, keep on loving
Believers, keep on believing
Sleepers, just stop sleeping
'Cause it won't be too long, oh no

And I'm so darn glad he let me try it again
My last time on earth, I lived a whole lot of sin
I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then
Gonna keep on trying 'til I reach the highest ground, oh Lord

'Til I reach the highest ground, oh yeah
Ain't nobody bring me down
