Higher Ground
Striving for Enlightenment: Eric Clapton's "Higher Ground
Lyrics
People keep on learnin’
Continual pursuit of knowledge and growth.
Soldiers keep on warrin’
Perpetual existence of conflict and war.
World keep on turnin’
Unceasing progression of the world.
'Cause it won’t be too long, oh no
Implicit urgency, a sense that time is running out.
Powers keep on lyin’
Those in power continue to deceive.
While your people they keep on dyin’
While ordinary people suffer and die.
World keep on turnin’
The world keeps evolving despite challenges.
'Cause it won’t be too long, oh yeah
Reiteration of the impending urgency.
I’m so darn glad he let me try it again
Gratitude for a second chance at life.
My last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin
Acknowledgment of a past filled with wrongdoing.
I’m so glad that I know more than I knew then
Expressing personal growth and learning from mistakes.
Gonna keep on tryin’ till I reach the highest ground
Determination to keep striving for a higher moral ground.
Teachers keep on teachin’
Emphasis on the importance of education.
Preachers keep on preachin’
Continuation of spiritual guidance.
World keep on turnin’
World keeps turning despite challenges.
'Cause it won’t be too long
Reiteration of the inevitable changes to come.
Lovers keep on lovin’
Love persists despite difficulties.
Believers keep on believin’
Faith endures despite challenges.
Sleepers just stop sleepin’
Encouragement to stay awake and aware.
'Cause it won’t be too long, oh no
Reiteration of the imminent changes.
I’m so darn glad he let me try it again
Gratitude for a second chance at life (repeated).
My last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin
Acknowledgment of a past filled with wrongdoing (repeated).
I’m so glad that I know more than I knew then
Expressing personal growth and learning from mistakes (repeated).
Gonna keep on tryin’ till I reach my highest ground, oh Lord
Determination to keep striving for a higher moral ground (repeated).
Till I reach my highest ground, oh yeah
Continued commitment to reaching the highest moral ground.
Ain't nobody bring me down
Declaration of resilience against negativity.
