Higher Ground

[Verse 1]
People keep on learning
And soldiers keep on warring
World keep on turning
'Cause it won't be too long

[Verse 2]
Powers keep on lying, oh
While your people, they keep on dying, ooh
But the world, oh, got to keep on turning
'Cause it won't be too long
Too long, too long

[Chorus]
I'm so glad He let me try it again
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 my highest ground

[Bridge]
(Higher ground)
We got to get over (Higher ground)
We got to get over (Higher ground)
We got to get over (Higher ground), gotta get over
We got to get over (Higher ground)
We got to get over (Higher ground)
We got to get over (Higher ground), gotta get over, gotta get over

[Chorus]
Just so glad He let me try it again
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 my highest ground

[Outro]
'Til I reach my highest ground
Oh yeah
'Til I reach my highest ground
People, oh, oh, oh
'Til I reach my highest ground
'Til I reach my highest ground
People
'Til I reach my highest ground
I'm gonna keep on trying, you got to keep on trying
'Til I reach my highest ground
Hey, hey
'Til I reach my highest ground
World keeps turning
'Til I reach my highest ground
