Lyrics

Peo ple,

keep on learn in’.

while your Sol diers,

keep keep on war rin’.

World,

(G7)keep on (Ab7)turn in’,

’cause it won’t be too (Eb7)long.

Pow ers,

keep on ly in’,

while Be peo ple

keep keep on dy in’.

World,

(G7)keep on (Ab7)turn in’,

’cause it won’t be too (Eb7)long.

I’m (Ab7)so darn glad he let me (Eb7)try it a gain, ’cause my (Ab7)last time on earth I lived a (Eb7)whole world of sin.

I’m (Ab7)so glad that I know more (Eb7)than I knew then.

Gon na keep on try in’, till I reach the high est (Eb7)ground.

Till I reach the high est ground.

No one’s gon na bring me down.

Till I reach the high est (CN.C.)ground.
