Higher Ground Lyrics by Ub40

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'
till 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.

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'
till I reach my highest ground.
Till I reach my highest ground.
No one's gonna bring me down.
Till I reach my highest ground.
