Higher Ground Lyrics By Stevie Wonder

    people keep on learning
    soldiers keep on warring
    world keep on turning
    ’cause it won’t be too long

    powers keep on lying
    while your people keep on dying
    world keep on turning
    ’cause it won’t be too long

    i’m so darn glad he let me try it again
    because my last time on earth i lived a whole world of sin
    i’m so glad that i know more than i knew then
    going to keep on trying
    ’til i reach my highest ground

    teachers keep on teaching
    preachers keep on preaching
    world keep on turning
    ’cause it won’t be too long
    oh no

    4
    lovers keep on loving
    believers keep on believing
    sleepers just stop sleeping
    ’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
    going to keep on trying
    ’til i reach my highest ground
    woo

    ’til i reach my highest ground
    no one’s going to bring me down
    oh no
    ’til i reach my highest ground
    don’t you let nobody bring you down they’ll sho ’nuff try
    god is gonna show you highest ground
    he’s the only friend you’ll have around
    ’cause the rest of the world will bring you down
