[Verse 1]
People
Keep on learning
Soldiers
Keep on warring
World
Keep on turning
Because it won't be too long
Powers
Keep on lying
While your people
Keep on dying
World
Keep on turning
Because it won't be too long
[Chorus]
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 until I reach the highest ground
[Verse 2]
Teachers
Keep on teaching
Preachers
Keep on preaching
World, keep on turning
Because it won't be too long
Oh, no!
Lovers
Keep on loving
While believers
Keep on believing
Sleepers
Just stop sleeping
Because it won't be too long
Oh, no!
[Chorus]
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 until I reach the highest ground
[Outro]
And Stevie knows that, uh, nobody's going to bring me down
Until I reach the highest ground
Because me and Stevie, see, we're going to be sailing on the funky sound
Until I reach the highest ground
Busting out, and I'll break you out, because I'm sailing on
Until I reach the highest ground
Just, uh, sailing on, sailing on the higher ground
Until I reach the highest ground
