Ellen Mcilwaine – Higher Ground lyrics
People
Keep on learnin
Soldiers
Keep on warrin
World,
Keep on turnin
Cause it wont be too long.
Powers
Keep on lyin,
While your people
Keep on dyin
World,
Keep on turnin,
Cause it wont 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 tryin till I reach the highest ground.

Teachers,
Keep on teachin
Preachers,
Keep on preachin,
World, keep on turnin,
Cause it wont be too long.

Oh, no
Lovers,
Keep on lovin
While believers
Keep on believin.
Sleepers,
Just stop sleepin
Cause it wont be too long.
Oh, no!

Chorus

(Spoken) an stevie knows that, uh, no-bodys gonna bring
Me down.
Till I reach the highest ground.

On the funky sound
Till I reach the highest ground.

Sailin on.
Till I reach the highest ground
(Spoken)just, uh, sailin on sailin on the higher ground
Till I reach the highest ground
