Higher Ground - Ellen McIlwaine

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 ones gonna bring me down

Oh no

Till I reach my highest ground

Dont you let nobody bring you down (theyll sho nuff try)

God is gonna show you higher ground

He's the only friend you have around
