Gonna keep on tryin' till I reach the 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
