Higher Ground Lyrics

Performed by Red Hot Chili Peppers) 

  

 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', 

 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! 

  

 Chorus 

  

 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
