Higher Ground Lyrics - 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

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
