People keep on learning Soldiers keep on warring World keep on turning 'Cause it won't be too long [Verse 2] Powers keep on lying While your people keep on dying World keep on turning 'Cause 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 'Til I reach my highest ground [Verse 3] Teachers keep on teaching Preachers keep on preaching World keep on turning 'Cause it won't be too long Oh no [Verse 4] Lovers keep on loving Believers keep on believing Sleepers just stop sleeping 'Cause it won't be too long Oh no [Chorus] 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 [Outro] '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
