Higher Ground

Red Hot Chili Peppers

1. 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
   
R: 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
   
2. 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'
   While believers, keep on believin'
   Sleepers, just stop sleepin'
   'Cause it won't be too long
   Oh, no !
   
R: I'm so darn glad...

3. Gonna keep on tryin'
   Till I reach the highest ground
   
   An' Stevie knows that, uh,
   no-body's gonna bring me down.
   Till I reach the highest ground
   'Cause me 'n' Stevie, see,
   we're gonna be a sailin' on the funky sound

   Till I reach the highest ground
   Bustin' out, an I'll break you out,
   'cause I'm sailin' on.
   Till I reach the highest ground
   Just, uh, sailin' on sailin' on the higher ground
   Till I reach the highest ground
