Originally by Stevie Wonder, but covered by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, I tried to get both versions with this arrangement.
I wanted to get the rock sound, as well as the soul. This was originally written for sax trio with drums, but then I reochestrated it for a band with instrumental sax.
There are no lyrics in this verion, but I've posted the lyrics just in case.
Lyrics:
People keep on learnin'
Soldiers keep on warnin'
World keep on turnin'
'Cause it won't be too long
Powers keep on lyin', yeah
While your people keep on dyin'
World keep on turnin'
'Cause it won't be too long
Oh, no
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'
'Til I reach my highest ground
Lovers keep on lovin'
Believers keep on believin', um yeah
Sleepers just stop sleepin'
'Cause it won't be too long, oh, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
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'
'Til I reach my highest ground, whoo
'Til I reach my higher ground, oh no
No one's gonna bring me down
They're sure gonna try
