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

*

Till I reach the highest ground
Oh no
Oh no
Till I reach the highest ground

Don't you let nobody bring you down
They'll sho'nuff try
God is gonna show you higher ground
He's the only friend you have around"
