Higher Ground
Rising Beyond: Red Hot Chili Peppers' Higher Ground Wisdom
Lyrics
People keep on learnin'
People continue to acquire knowledge and experience.
Soldiers keep on warrin'
Soldiers persist in fighting or engaging in conflicts.
World keep on turnin'
The world keeps evolving or changing.
'Cause it won't be too long
Change or progress is imminent.
Powers keep on lyin'
Those in power continue to deceive or mislead.
While your people keep on dyin'
While ordinary people continue to suffer or perish.
World keep on turnin'
The world continues to revolve or move forward.
'Cause it won't be too long
Implying that change is inevitable and will happen soon.
I'm so darn glad he let me try it again
Expressing gratitude for being given another chance in life.
'Cause my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin
Reflecting on a past life filled with wrongdoing or immoral behavior.
I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then
Expressing personal growth and learning from past mistakes.
Gonna keep on tryin'
Determined to persist despite challenges.
Till I reach my highest ground
Determined to strive for personal growth and improvement.
Teachers keep on teachin'
Teachers continue to impart knowledge or guidance.
Preachers keep on preachin'
Preachers continue to convey spiritual teachings or messages.
World keep on turnin'
Highlighting the continuous movement or evolution of the world.
'Cause it won't be too long, oh no
Emphasizing the inevitability of change in the near future.
Lovers keep on lovin'
Those in love continue to show affection or commitment.
Believers keep on believin'
People who believe in something continue to maintain their faith.
Sleepers just stop sleepin'
Encouragement to awaken or stop being oblivious to change.
'Cause it won't be too long, oh no
Implying that change is imminent.
I'm so glad that he let me try it again
Grateful for another opportunity in life after a past filled with mistakes.
'Cause my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin
Reflecting on a past filled with wrongdoing or immoral behavior.
I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then
Expressing personal growth and learning from past experiences.
Gonna keep on tryin'
Determined to persist despite challenges.
Till I reach my highest ground
Striving for personal growth and improvement.
An' Stevie knows that nobody's gonna bring me down
Confidence in not being defeated by anyone.
Till I reach the highest ground, 'cause me 'n' Stevie, see
Continuing to strive for personal growth and improvement.
We're gonna be a sailin' on the funky, funky sound (till I reach the highest ground)
Planning to continue progressing with a strong, rhythmic sound.
Bustin' out and I'll break you out, 'cause I'm sailin' on
Breaking free and moving forward with determination.
(Till I reach the highest ground)
Continuing to move forward with determination.
Just sailin' on, sailin' on the higher ground (till I reach the highest ground)
Continuing to strive for personal growth and improvement.
