Les paroles de la chanson
« Higher ground »
Red Hot Chili Peppers

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!

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

(Spoken) An’ Stevie knows that, uh, no-body’s gonna bring me down.
Till I reach the highest ground
(Spoken) ’Cause me ’n’ Stevie, see, we’re gonna be a sailin’ on the funky sound
Till I reach the highest ground
(Spoken) Bustin’ out, an I’ll break you out, ’cause I’m sailin’ on.
Till I reach the highest ground
(Spoken) Just, uh, sailin’ on sailin’ on the higher ground
Till I reach the highest ground
