Higher Ground Lyrics

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

Oh no, lovers keep on lovin'
Believers keep on believin'
Sleepers just stop sleepin'
'Cause it won't be too long
Oh no, 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, whew
Till I reach my highest ground
No one's gonna bring me down

Oh no, till I reach my highest ground
Don't you let nobody bring you down
(They'll sho 'nuff try)
God is gonna show you higher ground
He's the only friend you have around

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
