(Ohh, oh-ohh) A brand new day (higher ground) 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
(Ohh) I'm movin on (that's why I'm movin on) can't nothin stop me now

Brand new heights I'm gaining, eeeeeveryday

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.. (I'm moving on) can't nothin stop me now

Each step I take.. is a new dawning of
A brand new day.. for higher ground
Be strong, and fight on
But by all means, keeeeeeeeeeep moving
