Higher Ground (Stevie Wonder cover) 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 my 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'
Believers keep on believin'
Sleepers just stop sleepin'
'Cause it won't be too long, oh no
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
An' Stevie knows that nobody'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, funky sound (till I reach the highest ground)
Bustin' out and I'll break you out, 'cause I'm sailin' on
(Till I reach the highest ground)
Just sailin' on, sailin' on the higher ground (till I reach the highest ground)
Soldiers keep on warrin'
World keep on turnin'
'Cause it won't be too long
While your people keep on dyin'
World keep on turnin'
'Cause it won't be too long
'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
Preachers keep on preachin'
World keep on turnin'
'Cause it won't be too long, oh no
Believers keep on believin'
Sleepers just stop sleepin'
'Cause it won't be too long, oh no
'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 the highest ground, 'cause me 'n' Stevie, see
We're gonna be a sailin' on the funky, funky sound (till I reach the highest ground)
Bustin' out and I'll break you out, 'cause I'm sailin' on
(Till I reach the highest ground)
Just sailin' on, sailin' on the higher ground (till I reach the highest ground)

This song is on the Power Rangers Movie. First time i heard it was in that, lol. Not many bands can get away with being in the Power Rangers Movie, Chilis can.

Try listening to Stevie Wonder's original version. Anthony and Flea are big fans of Stevie, I'd love to here see them do more covers of his songs.
I watched Centre Stage the other nite, and this song was in the film. It gives me energy.
its so great. one of the best covers of all time.
word!
it's the chili pepper's tribute to one of their biggest influences, stevie wonder
I thought that one of the best versions of this song was on the 'Out In LA' album. The 12" Vocal Mix. But tis a good song, whatever.
the stevie wonder cover that made the band popular. it's about trying to be a better person. it's represented by higher ground, since heaven is frequently called this.
