Higher Ground

(专辑： Mother's Milk - 1989)

People keep on learning
Soldiers keep on warring
The world keep on turning
'Cause it won't be too long
Powers will keep on lying
While your people will keep on dying
The world keep on turning
'Cause it won't be too long

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 'til I reach the highest ground

A-teachers a-keep on teaching
A-preachers a-keep on preaching
World, keep on turning
'Cause it won't be too long
Oh no
Lovers a-keep on loving
While believers keep on believing
Sleepers just stop sleeping
'Cause it won't be too long
Oh no

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 'til I reach the highest ground

And Stevie knows that, uh, nobody's gonna bring me down
('Til I reach the highest ground)
'Cause me and Stevie, see, we're gonna be sailing on the fucking funky sound
('Til I reach the highest ground)
Busting out, and I'll break you out, 'cause I'm sailing on
('Til I reach the highest ground)
Just, uh, sailing on, sailing on the higher ground
('Til I reach the highest ground)
