Higher Ground -- Missy Elliott

I'm movin on, can't nothin stop me now
I'm pressin on to higher ground
Each step I take is a new dawning of
A brand new day for higher ground

Obstacles and situations, people places and things
I must overcome, cause there's a battle to be won
With my mind set on higher things
These things have become my footstool
I'm determined to reach my goal
I need peace for my soul

I'm movin on, can't nothin stop me now
I'm pressin on to higher ground
Each step I take is a new dawning of
A brand new day for higher ground

I'm pressin on, the upward way
Brand new heights I'm gaining everyday
No higher place that I really have found
Lord plant my feet on higher ground
Forgetting what is already behind me
I'm moving forward, moving for what's ahead

I'm moving on, can't nothin stop me now, nothing's gonna stop me
I'm pressing on to higher ground
Each step I take is a new dawning of
A brand new day for higher ground

The race is not given to the swift
Nor the battle to the strong only
But instead
But we gotta stay strong and fight on
Sometimes you feel like your foot might slip
Cause it's too much goin on
Just realize your goal is greater than your struggle
Just hold on and be strong

I'm moving on, can't nothin stop me now
I'm pressing on to higher ground
Each step I take is the new dawning of
A brand new day for higher ground

Be strong, and fight on
But by all means, keep moving
I'm a witness for Jesus, nobody but Jesus
When I was down, and no one was there
He picked me up, and he carried me
I'm a witness for Jesus, nobody but Jesus
When I was down, and no one was there
He picked me up, and he carried me
