Lyrics:

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' 'til 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'
While believers keep on believin'
Sleepers just stop sleepin'
'Cause it won't be too long
Oh, no
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' 'til I reach the highest ground
And Stevie knows that, uh, nobody's gonna bring me down
('Til I reach the highest ground)
'Cause me and Stevie, see, we're gonna be a sailin' on the funky funky sound
('Til I reach the highest ground)
Bustin' out, and I'll break you out, 'cause I'm sailin' on
('Til I reach the highest ground)
Just, uh, sailin' on, sailin' on the higher ground
('Til I reach the highest ground)
