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
chorus :
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 tryin'
'Till I reach the highest ground
Teachers, keep on teachin'
Preachers, keep on preachin'
World, keep on turnin'
'Cause it won't be too long
Oh, no
Lovers, keep on lovin'
While believers, keep on believin'
Sleepers, just stop sleepin'
'Cause it won't be too long
Oh, no!
