Higher Ground Lyrics by Michael McDonald

The Voice Of Michael McDonald

2000

[Verse 1]
People, keep on learnin'
Soldiers, keep on warrin'
World keep on turnin'
'Cause it won't be too long, ooh-woo
[Verse 2]
Powers keep on lyin'
While your people keep on dyin'
World keep on turnin'
'Cause it won't be too long, uh-huh
[Chorus]
So glad that He let me try it again
'Cause the last time around I lived a whole world of sin
So glad that I know more than I knew then
Gotta keep on tryin' 'til I reach the higher ground
Yeah yeah, oh
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
So glad that He let me try it again
'Cause the last time around I lived a whole world of sin
I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then
Gotta keep on tryin' 'til I reach the higher ground
Uh-huh
[Outro]
Gotta keep tryin'
Gotta keep tryin'
Well, a man said, "I may not get there" but I gotta keep tryin'
Ah, I know I gotta keep tryin', oh no
Gotta keep tryin', gotta keep tryin'
'Til I reach the higher ground
Oh oh, oh, I gotta keep tryin'
'Til I reach the higher ground
Whoa, yeah, oh, gotta keep tryin'
'Til I reach the higher ground
Yeah, yeah, no one gonna bring me down, no, no
Yeah, gotta keep tryin'
Yeah, I gotta keep tryin'
I gotta keep tryin', yeah yeah
