Higher Ground lyrics
by UB40



People

keep on learnin'

Soldiers

keep on warrin'

World,

keep on turnin'

cause it won't be too long.

Powers

a-keep on lyin',

while your people

a-keep on dyin'

World,

keep on turnin',

cause it won't 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,

a-keep on teachin'

Preachers,

keep on preachin',

World, keep on turnin',

'cause it won't be too long.

oh, no

Lovers,

a-keep on lovin'

while believers

keep on believin'.

Sleepers,

just stop sleepin'

'cause it won't be too long.

Oh, no!



Chorus



(Spoken) An' Stevie knows that, uh, no-body's gonna bring me down.

Till I reach the highest ground.

(Spoken) 'cause me 'n' Stevie, see, we're gonna be a sailin' on the funky sound

Till I reach the highest ground.

(Spoken) Bustin' out, an I'll break you out, 'cause I'm sailin' on.

Till I reach the highest ground

(Spoken)Just, uh, sailin' on sailin' on the higher ground

Till I reach the highest ground
