"Higher Ground" lyrics

People, keep on learnin'
Soldiers, keep on warrin'
World, keep on turnin'
'Cause it won't be too long, oh no

Powers, keep on lyin'
While your people, they keep on dyin'
World, keep on turnin'
'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 tryin' 'til I reach the highest ground

Teachers, keep on teachin'
Preachers, keep on preachin'
World, keep on turnin'
'Cause it won't be too long

Lovers, keep on lovin'
Believers, keep on believin'
Sleepers, just stop sleepin'
'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 tryin' 'til I reach the highest ground, oh Lord

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