[Verse 1]
People, keep on learnin'
Soldiers, keep on warrin'
World, keep on turnin'
'Cause it won't be too long, oh no

[Verse 2]
Powers, keep on lyin'
While your people, they keep on dyin'
World, keep on turnin'
'Cause it won't be too long, oh yeah

[Chorus]
I'm so darn glad he let me try it again
My last time on earth, I lived a whole lot of sin
I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then
Gonna keep on tryin' 'til I reach the highest ground

[Verse 3]
Teachers, keep on teachin'
Preachers, keep on preachin'
World, keep on turnin'
'Cause it won't be too long

[Verse 4]
Lovers, keep on lovin'
Believers, keep on believin'
Sleepers, just stop sleepin'
'Cause it won't be too long, oh no
[Chorus]
And I'm so darn glad he let me try it again
My last time on earth, I lived a whole lot of sin
I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then
Gonna keep on tryin' 'til I reach the highest ground, oh Lord

[Outro]
'Til I reach the highest ground, oh yeah
Ain't nobody bring me down
