Stevie Wonder - Higher Ground
Não é a primeira vez que os acordes de Higher Ground são ouvidos por aqui. Na primeira oportunidade, o tema da postagem era o projeto Playing for Change e a canção de autoria do magistral Stevie Wonder dividia espaço com outras duas que dispensam maiores apresentações, (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay, de Otis Redding, e Three Little Birds, de Bob Marley.
Desta feita, uma das composições que mais gosto do músico estadunidense, que faz parte do clássico álbum Innervisions, lançado em 1973 pela legendária gravadora Motown, sediada em Detroit, no estado de Michigan, aparece com toda a pompa e circusntância.
Nem precisaria dizer que o som de Stevie Wonder é de tirar o fôlego, mas chamo uma atenção toda especial à letra, que, mesmo depois de 40 anos de escrita, continua atual como nunca.
World keep on turnin'!
Só pra matar a curiosidade, a versão de Playing For Change.
People keep on learnin'
Soldiers keep on warrin'
World keep on turnin'
Cause it won't be too long
Soldiers keep on warrin'
World keep on turnin'
Cause it won't be too long
Powers keep on lyin'
While your people keep on dyin'
World keep on turnin'
Cause it won't be too long
I'm so darn glad he let me try it again
Cause my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin
I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then
Gonna keep on tryin'
Till I reach my highest ground
Teachers keep on teachin'
Preachers keep on preachin'
World keep on turnin'
Cause it won't be too long
Oh no
Lovers keep on lovin'
Believers keep on believin'
Sleepers just stop sleepin'
Cause it won't be too long
Oh no
I'm so glad that he let me try it again
Cause my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin
I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then
Gonna keep on tryin'
Till I reach my highest ground...Whew!
Till I reach my highest ground
No one's gonna bring me down
Oh no
Till I reach my highest ground
Don't let nobody bring you down (they'll sho 'nuff try)
God is gonna show you higher ground
He's the only friend you have around
While your people keep on dyin'
World keep on turnin'
Cause it won't be too long
I'm so darn glad he let me try it again
Cause my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin
I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then
Gonna keep on tryin'
Till I reach my highest ground
Teachers keep on teachin'
Preachers keep on preachin'
World keep on turnin'
Cause it won't be too long
Oh no
Lovers keep on lovin'
Believers keep on believin'
Sleepers just stop sleepin'
Cause it won't be too long
Oh no
I'm so glad that he let me try it again
Cause my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin
I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then
Gonna keep on tryin'
Till I reach my highest ground...Whew!
Till I reach my highest ground
No one's gonna bring me down
Oh no
Till I reach my highest ground
Don't let nobody bring you down (they'll sho 'nuff try)
God is gonna show you higher ground
He's the only friend you have around
