MISSY ELLIOTT - Higher Ground lyrics

Mmmhmmmm.. mmmmmm..

Ohh yea yea yea

Ohhhh.. mmmm-mmmhmmmm

I'm movin.. higher ground..

(Ohh) I'm movin on (mmhmm) can't nothin stop me now

(Mmm-yeah) I'm pressin on (higher ground) to higher ground

(MMMM!) Each step I take (oooooh) is a new dawning of

(Ohh, oh-ohh) A brand new day (higher ground) for higher ground

Obstacles and situations, people places and things

I must overcome, cause there's a battle to be won

With my mind set on higher things

These things have become my footstool

I'm determined to reach my goal

I need peace for my soul

(Ohh) I'm movin on (that's why I'm movin on) can't nothin stop me now

(I'm pressin on) I'm pressin on (to higher ground) to higher ground

(MMMM!) Each step I take (each step I take) is a new dawning of

(For my higher place) A brand new day

(On my higher ground) for higher ground

I'm pressin on, the upward way

Brand new heights I'm gaining, eeeeeveryday

No higher place, that I really have found

(Lord plant my feet on) plant my feet on (On higher ground)

Forgetting what (forgetting what, is already behind me)

Is alread be, ohhhh-oooooh-ohhhhohwhoahhhhh

(I'm moving forward) Moving yahyeahh (for what's ahead)

I'm moving on.. can't nothin stop me now (nothing's gonna stop me)

I'm pressing on.. to higher ground (yeah yeah yeah yeah)

Each step I take (ohhhh hohhhh) is a new dawning of (yes it is)

A brand new day (yeahhhh) for higher ground

The race is not given to the swift

Nor the battle to the strong only

But instead (??? ???)

But we gotta stay strong and fight on

Sometimes you feel like your foot might slip

Cause it's too much goin on

Just realize your goal is greater than your struggle

Just hold on and be strong

I'm moving on.. (I'm moving on) can't nothin stop me now

(nothing, no-no-no)

I'm pressing on.. (ooohooohooh) to higher ground (oahhyeahyeahh)

Each step I take (oh is the dawning of a new day)

Is the new dawning of (???)

A brand new day (yeahhyeahh) for higher ground

I'm moving on.. can't nothin stop me now

I'm pressing on.. to higher ground

Each step I take.. is a new dawning of

A brand new day.. for higher ground

Be strong, and fight on

But by all means, keeeeeeeeeeep moving

[Missy] I'm a witness (I'm a witness) for Jesus (nobody but Jesus)

[Missy] When I was down, and no one was there

[Missy] He picked me up, and he carried me

[Missy] I'm a witness (I'm a witness) for Jesus (nobody but Jesus)

[Missy] When I was down, and no one was there

[Missy] He picked me up, and he carried me
