Higher Ground (feat. Stevie Wonder / Shakira)

(Usher)
People keep on learnin'
Soldiers keep on warrin'
World keep on turnin'
Cause it won't be too long

(Shakira)
Powers keep on lyin'
While your people keep on dyin'
World keep on turnin'
Cause it won't be too long

(Both)
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 my highest ground

(Stevie Wonder)
Teachers keep on teachin'
Preachers keep on preachin'
World keep on turnin'
Cause it won't be too long
Oh yeah

(Usher)
Lovers keep on lovin'
(Shakira)
Believers keep on believin'
(Stevie Wonder)
Sleepers just stop sleepin'
Cause it won't be too long
Oh yeah

(All)
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...
Till I reach my highest ground
No one's gonna bring me down
Oh no
Till I reach my highest ground
Don't let nobody bring you down (they'll sho 'nuff try)
God is gonna show you higher ground
He's the only friend you have around
