Lyrics:
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.

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!

An' Stevie knows that 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)

FUCK OFF.

[Ryanuofm86]

I'm not going to say I like this better than the original, because without the original, this wouldn't exist.

But, without this version, I wouldn't have known about the original. XD

I like both a lot!

[hopdat724]

yea cause "every people" listen to music when they are just sitting on their ass

[39tito]

I also just found out recently this was from Stevie Wonder.

[DanielKohbad]

Kind of yeah. But there could be many other covers of the song, so I just thought it was easy to ask someone who knew the original :-) And sorry bout the aggresive comment before, I just got mad because you wrote "Just get out" without I wrote anything to offend anyone.

[Efrain Nunez]

but why would you ask for the name of the song if it's a cover?? that's just stupid

[Gabyrhcp15]

I can't believe u really don't know. Higher Gorund is a Steve Wonder cover. the song has the same name.I hope I have helped:)

[DanielKohbad]

not every people has time to sit on their ass and listen to music all day.

[NateMantle]

dude it actually WAS in a power ranger's movie. That's probably why it sounds like that to you. To me it just sounds like a classic 90's funk rock song.

[Bridget110379]

I LOVE RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS!

[Artaxo]

It's called Higher Ground - Stevie Wonder

[Efrain Nunez]
