Higher Ground (Live/1995) Lyrics

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

[Verse 2]
Powers keep on lying
While your people keep on dying
World keep on turning
'Cause it won't be too long

[Chorus]
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 trying
'Til I reach my highest ground

[Verse 3]
Lovers keep on loving
Believers keep on believing
Sleepers just stop sleeping
'Cause it won't be too long
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah yeah yeah
[Chorus]
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 trying
'Til I reach my highest ground
Whoo
'Til I reach my highest ground
Oh no
No one's gonna bring me down
(They'll sho 'nuff try)

[Outro]
I'm going higher (Higher)
Higher (Higher)
Higher (Higher)
Higher (Higher)
Higher (Higher)
Higher (Higher)
Higher (Higher)
Higher (Higher)
Reachin' (Reachin')
Reachin' (Reachin')
Reachin' (Reachin')
Higher ground (Higher ground)
Let me say
Higher (Higher)
Higher (Higher)
Higher (Higher)
Higher (Higher)
Higher (Higher)
Higher (Higher)
Higher (Higher)
Higher (Higher)
Don't you let nobody [?] or whatever
They keep you, they keep you, they keep you
From the highest ground
Don't you let nobody [?] or whatever
They keep you, they keep you, they keep you
From the highest ground
Oh boy

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 [?]
