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 

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' '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, oh no 

Lovers, keep on lovin' 
While believers keep on believin' 
Sleepers, just stop sleepin' 
'Cause it won't be too long, oh no 

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' 'til I reach the highest ground 

And Stevie knows that, huh, nobody's gonna bring me down 
'Til I reach the highest ground 
'Cause me and Stevie, see, we're gonna be sailin' on the funky sound 
'Til I reach the highest ground 

Bustin' out, and I'll break you out, 'cause I'm sailin' on 
'Til I reach the highest ground 
Just, uh, sailin' on, sailin' on the higher ground 
'Til I reach the highest ground
