The Red Hot Chili Peppers released a cover as the second single from their fourth studio album Mother's Milk. Their version earned an MTV Video Award nomination.

It was featured in the films Passenger 57 (1992), Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (1995), Center Stage (2000), Walking Tall (2004), The Longest Yard (2005), The Karate Kid (2010), and The Change-Up (2011). This version has also been played in a season one episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. It is also featured in the video games Guitar Hero, Rocksmith, and SSX3 (in SSX3, a remixed version of the Red Hot Chili Peppers version done by the X-Ecutioners was used). The music video was featured in an episode of Beavis and Butt-Head. The song was used by FX to promote The Ultimate Fighter: Live and it also serves as the show's theme song.

As part of the "Year of a Million Dreams" Celebration, Space Mountain at Disneyland in Anaheim, California used this song as its soundtrack for 16 weeks, from 3 January 2007 to 26 April 2007.

British magazine Total Guitar named it the second greatest cover ever in 2000.

Lyrics

People

Keep on learnin'

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.

Chorus:

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 the 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'

While believers

Keep on believin'.

Sleepers,

Just stop sleepin'

'Cause it won't be too long.

Oh, no!

Chorus

(Spoken) An' Stevie knows that, uh, no-body's gonna bring me down.

Till I reach the highest ground.

(Spoken) 'cause me 'n' Stevie, see, we're gonna be a sailin' on the funky sound

Till I reach the highest ground.

(Spoken) Bustin' out, an I'll break you out, 'cause I'm sailin' on.

Till I reach the highest ground

(Spoken)Just, uh, sailin' on sailin' on the higher ground

Till I reach the highest ground

The audio is from the 2003 Greatest Hits mix of Higher Ground, which has a different drums recording, and lead guitar's volume is lowered. In my opinion, the 1989 mix sounded better...

*Higher Ground* :- Sleepy time for me as it's been yet another long and tiring day. Tonight's music to sign off to is provided by the *Red Hot Chili Peppers* with their superb cover of a *Stevie Wonder* classic. Goodnight...
