[Intro: Choir]
'Til I reach the highest ground
[Verse 1: Anthony Kiedis]
People-pe-people, keep on learnin'
So-soldiers, keep-keep on warrin'
World, keep-keep on turnin'
'Cause it won't be too long
[Verse 2: Anthony Kiedis]
Powers, keep-keep on lyin'
While the people will keep on dyin'
World, keep-keep on turnin'
'Cause it won't be too long
[Chorus: Choir]
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' 'til I reach the highest ground
[Verse 3: Anthony Kiedis]
Teachers will keep on teachin'
Pre-pr-pre-pr-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre
Preachers will keep on preachin'
Wo-wo-world, keep-keep on turnin'
'Cause it won't be too long
[Verse 4: Anthony Kiedis]
Powers, keep on lyin'
While the people will keep on dyin'
Sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep
Sleepers, just stop sleepin'
'Cause it won't be too long, oh no
[Chorus: Choir]
So-so-so-so darn glad he let me try it again
'Cause my last time on Earth, I lived a whole world of sin
Glad that, glad that, glad that I know more than I knew then
Gonna keep on tryin' 'til I reach the highest ground
[Interlude: Anthony Kiedis & Choir]
('Til I reach the highest ground)
Stevie-Stevie-Stevie-Stevie knows that, uh, nobody's gonna bring me down
Stevie knows that, uh, nobody's gonna bring me down
('Til I reach the highest ground)
Stevie knows that, uh, nobody's gonna bring me down
Stev-Stev-Stev-Stevie knows that, uh, nobody's gonna bring me down
('Til I reach the highest ground)
Stevie knows that, uh, nobody's gonna bring me down
('Til I reach the highest ground)
[Bridge: Anthony Kiedis]
Something of a wise man, something of a fool
Do ya love Stevie Wonder? Yes, I do, yes, I do (Yes, I do)
Show me your soul and I'll show you mine
Take my fifth, now I'm mister time, mister time (Mister time)
Accept my message as a gift of grace, because the
Next thing you're gettin' is a face full of base
[Bass Solo]
[Outro: Choir]
'Til I reach the highest ground
'Til I reach the highest ground
'Til I reach the highest ground
'Til I reach the highest ground
'Til I reach the highest ground
