[Verse:]
People keep on learnin'
Soldiers keep on warrin'
World keep on turnin'
‘Cause it won't be too long, no, no

[Verse:]
Powers keep on lyin'
While your people keep on dyin'
World keep on turnin'
‘Cause it won't be too long, nah nah, no

[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

[Verse:]
Teachers keep on teachin'
Preachers keep on preachin'
World keep on turnin'
‘Cause it won't be too long
Oh no

[Verse:]
Lovers keep on lovin'
Believers keep on believin'
Sleepers just stop sleepin'
‘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
Gonna keep on tryin'
Till I reach my highest ground... Yea, yea, oh
Till I reach my highest ground! Oh yea
No one's gonna bring me down
No, no, no, no
Till I reach my highest ground
Don't you let nobody bring you down (they'll sho 'nuff try)
God is gonna show you higher ground
