Higher Ground

People keep on learninÂ’
Soldiers keep on warrinÂ’
World keep on turninÂ’
Cause it wonÂ’t be too long

Powers keep on lyinÂ’
While your people keep on dyinÂ’
World keep on turninÂ’
Cause it wonÂ’t be too long

IÂ’m so darn glad he let me try it again
Cause my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin
IÂ’m so glad that I know more than I knew then
Gonna keep on tryinÂ’
Till I reach the highest ground

Lovers keep on lovinÂ’
Believers keep on believinÂ’
Sleepers just stop sleepinÂ’
Cause it wonÂ’t be too long
Oh no

IÂ’m so glad that he let me try it again
Cause my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin
IÂ’m so glad that I know more than I knew then
Gonna keep on tryinÂ’
Till I reach my highest ground...whew!
Till I reach my highest ground
No oneÂ’s gonna bring me down
Oh no
Till I reach my highest ground
DonÂ’t you let nobody bring you down (theyÂ’ll sho Â’nuff try)
God is gonna show you higher ground
HeÂ’s the only friend you have around
