once we were up
but lately we've been down
picked ourselves up right up off the ground
the eagle has flown
trying to pick our brothers
you know we got help from many others
huh! look it here!
we're cleaning up
trying to get peace to last
let's aid the future
but don't forget the past
walkin' tall is great
if you don't step on the small
remember: our world was created for all
we're standing on higher ground
we're back on top
hah! we won't look down
lookit here!
standing on higher ground
we can see from miles around
lookit here
hit it!
wait a minute!
don't stay apart
let's try to pull together
it's up to us to make peace last forever
if we work as one
we'll make it right for all
if we're divided
we will surely fall
uh! now that we've come to a place
we can only grow
let's keep our higher ground
so we all will know
it's like the good book said: you must reap what you sow
good will prevail
evil must go
ha!
standing on higher ground
we're back on top
we won't look down
standing on higher ground
we can see from miles around
together
on higher ground
hah!
standing up on higher ground
feel good on higher ground
hah!
ow!
standing on higher ground
we're back on top
hah! we won't look down
standing on higher ground
we can see from miles
miles around together
standing on higher ground
we're back on top
hah! we won't look down
standing on higher ground
we can see from miles around! everybody look!
standing on higher ground
we're back on top - no
we won't look down
everybody
standing on higher ground
we can see from miles around! education!
