People keep on learnin'

Soldiers keep on warrin'

World keep on turnin'

Cause it won't be too long, no, no, ah, yeah



Powers keep on lyin'

While your people keep on dyin', alright

World keep on turnin'

Cause it won't be too long, oh no, noo

Cause it won't be too long, ho!

Oh no, yeah



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 tryin'
