Red Hot Chili Peppers - Higher Ground 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.

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

Keep on teachin'

Preachers

Keep on preachin'

Worldkeep on turnin'

'cause it won't be too long.

Ohno

Lovers

Keep on lovin'

While believers

Keep on believin'.

Sleepers

Just stop sleepin'

'cause it won't be too long.

Ohno!

Chorus

Till I reach the highest ground
